In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

[Quran 83:24] You recognize in their faces the joy of bliss.
 [83:25] Their drinks will be spiced with nectar.
 [83:26] Its spice is like musk. This is what the competitors should compete for.

In this world people engage in different kinds of competitions or contests, e.g., athletic, academic, political, corporate, musical, etc. Those who succeed may earn money, fame, power or more. In many cases, for one competitor to win another must lose. And the recognition or rewards may fade away. God's system is wonderful, where there's no limit to how many people can be winners. And the rewards of righteousness bring happiness in this world and the next.

May God help us grow and develop our souls so we can end up close to God.
