Our Logo
The Marhama logo represents a synthesis of Indigenous American and traditional Muslim symbols. The two ‘waws’, sacred Arabic letters, face each other to highlight the importance of reflection and receptivity for one's spiritual growth. The four colors on the outer ring represent the four elements, the four temperaments, the four cardinal directions, the four seasons, and the four nations of the human family.
