Welcome to Payaam Team Blog

Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem.

Pakistan is passing through defining moments. Indication of this is clear to anyone with even a passing knowledge of life in Pakistan.

The extent of the decline runs the span of human activity. There are problems in health, education, agriculture, and industry. Poverty is general and growing. Insecurity is widespread. People do not feel secure - in the streets or in
their homes. Some parts of the country seem to be in the initial stages of a civil war.

Our purpose, on the platform of Payaam Trust, is not to cast blame and point fingers. We accept as obvious that all people who live in this land want the best for it and for themselves.

We want to analyze and change what has brought us to the brink. And then to identify a way out!

We are not in the business of labeling people as liberals, conservatives, fundamentalists, or extremists. We welcome anyone in whose heart there still smolders even an ember of the fire that burned in the hearts of Allama Iqbal, Mohammad Ali Jinnah and their colleagues.

It was not ordained that Pakistan be a 'failed state'. Come, let’s make a difference. ALLAH ho Akbar!
