You walk into your apartment building, and there's a new security guard and you
want to give them dawah. But isn't that a bit too awkward and far too abrupt to just
suddenly approach this person, someone you have seen for the first time, and
suddenly start talking about Islam? This is where you use ‘Rapport’ as a technique.

You can come up to him and say, Hey, how are you doing? Are you new here? Yeah,
I'm taking over from Jeff. I'm just going to be here for a week. What's your name?
My name is John. Nice to meet you, John. My name is Jamaal. I live on the third
floor and just wanted to introduce myself. That's all you do this time and you leave.
You should make a mental note of a number of things. Number one, you know that
Maybe I come in the next time. Hey, how are you John? How do you find the
weather here? If you know anything about sports, you can use that to find out his

bring up Islam and it wouldn't be too awkward because now he recognizes your
face, he's spoken to you before, and you have established rapport.
So I like to go fishing and sometimes I make friends with people while I'm shopping
for a fishing rod. So I'm standing over here, looking at fishing rods, and there's a
guy next to me standing looking at fishing rods. I look at him, and he looks back at

whilst we are speaking or sitting across from each other, we naturally begin to mimic
each other and our position. They call this limbic synchrony.

Maaari mo siyang lapitan at sabihin, Hi, kumusta ka? Bago ka ba rito? Oo, pinalitan
ko si Jeff. Isang linggo lamang ako dito. Anong pangalan mo? Ang pangalan ko ay

Dapat mong isa-isip ang ilang mga bagay. Una, alam mo na siya ay titigil lamang ng
isang linggo.
Baka bumalik ako sa susunod. Hi, kumusta ka John? Kumusta ang klima dito? Kung
may alam ka tungkol sa mga paligsahan, maaari mo itong gamitin upang makita ang
kanyang mga hilig. Tandaan, ang isa sa paraan upang maitaguyod ang samahan ay
ang malaman ang isang bagay na magkapareho, ibig sabihin ay isang bagay na kayo
ay magkapareho.
Kaya gusto kong mamingwit ng isda at minsan ako ay nakikipagkaibigan sa mga tao
ng mga pamingwit.
Tumingin ako sa kanya, at tumingin siya pabalik sa akin at tinanong ko siya kung
isang araw ay nakahuli ako ng isang malaking hito, at ako ay nakipaglaban sa isda
na ito na tumagal ng halos isang oras. Pagkatapos ay sinabi niya ang mga istorya ng
