Ma’rifa 2026:
Garden in Bloom
March 27th - 29th, 2026 | Ann Arbor, MI
We are grateful to announce our 7th annual conference, Ma’rifa 2026: Garden in Bloom, taking place on March 27-29 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We will gather for a renewed understanding of how our individual actions and aspirations blossom into the Garden of Paradise. Drawing from a plethora of God’s names, how must we align our hearts and our communities to mirror His Beauty?
We pray that Ma’rifa 2026: Garden in Bloom will help us seek, produce, and cultivate beauty in our lives. May the conference serve as a reminder of God, in all His Names. And may we work to make the Garden here, now.
Our theme this year is inspired by the following verse from the Qur’an:
“He who perfected everything that He created and began man’s creation from clay” [32:7]
