What is our mission?

Pakistan today is faced with serious geo-political and domestic challenges. BrassTacks, founded by Zaid Hamid, is a group of responsible and competent Pakistani Citizens, who have taken up the challenge of showing our nation what foreign and domestic threats we face, and what we must do in response. We are not a political party asking for your support or votes. We are not an NGO or social organization that seeks donations, infact, we do not accept any cash donations whatsoever. In the words of our founder, Zaid Hamid, our organization is Pakistan, our identity is Islam, and our constitution is the Quran. We represent nothing other than total commitment to the ideology of Pakistan and Islam. All that we ask is from the people is to educate themselves on the very important national issues that we are highlighting, and come together to work collectively and in their own individual capacities to implement solutions that we are proposing related to our economic and national security problems.

Our analysts and researchers have spent a number of years researching National Security Issues, International Geo-Political Developments and Global Economic Policy, and weighed them in the light of the principles of Quran and Sunnah, to come up with effective, concrete, and actionalable recommendations that the nation must undertake.

BrassTacks is a call to action - A call to stand up together to selflessly serve what is destined to be the most important instrument of Islamic renaissance: Pakistan.
