Dear friend:
Have you ever thought while you watch a soccer game in the World Cup that there is a greater match game, which is more exciting and vigorous. It is the matchgame of life. Do you know how many players participate in the game of life? Do you know if you are one of them or not? Do you know who are the most prominent and effective players in the Tunisian, Moroccan or Saudi Arabia teams? Do you know who are the most powerful players in the game of life? Do you know who is the winner of the World Cup and who is the winner of the game of life today? Let us go together to the stadium of life to watch the most powerful game ever took place and still running all over ages, epochs and decades i.e. the game of life.

The world cup games are very interesting and exciting being the arena of struggle between the playing teams fighting to get hold of a "small ball". As for the game of life, it is violent and ferocious since it takes place on the ground of this "big ball" - the earth.

In the stadium of the world cup games, it is the players who run and struggle supported by the football fans and the reserve players.

As for the stadium of life, all people including you and me have to take part. All people are players and there are no audience or reserve players.

The world cup game lasts for a short and limited period of time starting with the whistle of the referee and it ends with another whistle mixed with shouts of joy and delight.

As for the game of life, it starts with the cries of a little baby and ends with cries and sobs of wailing and mourning. It does not have a fixed amount of time. Its duration can be long or short. It can last for only some minutes, days, months or years.

The world cup game starts and ends in a specific and known place - a playground or a big stadium.

But the game of life starts by the moment of your birth in a small room and it may ends in the air, sea or in bed.

It is uncertain whether you will win or lose in the world cup game; you can never be sure till the last moment of the game.

As for the game of life, you can be quite sure of the final result since victory has already been achieved before the end of the game for all those who come to God with a pure heart.

The referee of the world cup game is a human being who may be wise or otherwise and he cannot give power to achieve victory or sustain defeat.

As for the referee of the game of life, He is the Lord of heaven and earth. He does not fall asleep or have a snooze. He can give power to gain victory and escape defeat.

Victory in the world cup game gives a short-lived joy, momentary excitement, and a temporary material cup, which will be forgotten sooner or later.

But victory in the game of life gives eternal paradise prepared by God the Almighty for those who fear him as a reward from their Lord the Merciful and the Compassionate.

Defeat in a world cup game means the loss of a temporary chance while there is hope to win some time in the future.

As for the defeat in the game of life, it means an irrevocable eternal loss of shame and agony prepared by God for the losers.
