Hooks · Religious speakers
Opening lines that stop the scroll for religious speakers and scholars
Open on the question, never on your own title. A clip that starts with one honest question keeps the listener past three seconds; a clip that starts with your introduction loses him. The usual mistake is cutting from the middle of a bayan where the sentence has no beginning.

Using these hooks
How do I use these hooks?
Open on the question, never on your own title. A clip that starts with one honest question keeps the listener past three seconds; a clip that starts with your introduction loses him. The usual mistake is cutting from the middle of a bayan where the sentence has no beginning.
Should I use them word for word?
Use the shape, change the words. These are written for religious speakers and scholars generally; the version that works is the one with your own price, your own area and your own customer's actual question in it.
Do these work in Urdu?
Several have a Roman Urdu version below, and in the twin cities that version usually performs better on TikTok and Facebook. On LinkedIn, stay in English.
