Eng. Seena Zarie
Part -1
Football is the most popular sport in the world. No doubt that lot of people are attracted to it and follow up latest news and results. Even if we are talking about categories which are not watching football on TV, even though many of them practiced it at different times & know basic rules of it. The result is that almost everyone knows this game and knows at least what are the main rules.
The objective of this presentation is to provide positive values and characteristics in ourselves and get rid of negative ones through things in football.
Firstly: Before Match Starts
1) Training
- We need training before we go into any field we want to influence & be effective in it.
- Training is a way to develop new tools,
plans and review the mistakes and negative points to avoid them in the future.
- Planning is done in training before entering any field. Planning is important for objectives to be clear & to reach targets.
We can learn from training the following:
2) Media
Before any tournaments or matches especially for sensitive ones, the media begins to cover these events in various ways. Every media organization tries to have special coverage of a particular event for a team or player or coach.
This is a message to positive people to take care about media since it has big influence in spreading values & ideas.
3) Match Importance
- Events in our lives are different in terms of importance as matches are. - As teams focus on important matches and accordingly rearrange their priorities, Positive persons should take care also about their priorities in life in order to be success.
- Teams having clear targets success usually. The team which puts its target to win the tournament will do their best & plan well to achieve this target. Positive people should also have clear targets in their lives & make efforts to achieve them.
We can learn from Match importance the following:
Secondly: During Match 1) Football Stadium:
- Football Stadium is like our life. Players inside it plays in specified area & time. The same is applied in our life since we are living in specified area (Earth) & we have specified time to live.
- Goals are there to have clear & specific target for teams which is scoring goals. In our life, we should have clear & specific targets in order to be success. - There are different shapes for football stadium through out the world, but at the end, stadium is stadium and it is for playing football. The same applies for our life. As much as we leave in it & enjoy it, it is the same life & it should end one day.
We can learn from Football Stadium the following:
2) The Ball
- We can say that the ball is like something important in life. All players are running after it & try to keep it with them as much as they can. In our life, we should focus on important things that will benefit us after our death. If it is not important, it might cause trouble for us in (Qeyam’ah Day).
- The ball represent for each player different thing. For goalkeeper, he should catch it. For forwarder, he should put it in goal and so on. In our life, although the life is same, but people have different interests. People who want to be success in life should have positive & valuable interests.
We can learn from the ball the following:
- No benefit from the ball if it doesn’t move. Also, in our life, if we didn’t move towards improvements & achievements, we will not have any influence & we will be without any value.
- Also, there is no benefit from the ball if it goes outside the field. Also, in our life, there is no benefit from work if we died & left this world.

3) Team
- Each player in team has specific task to perform. We have also specific task in our life which is worship Allah.
- All players in the team have common target to achieve which is winning & sometimes drawing. If someone in the team didn’t have this common target, he would effect the team. In our life, we should also have clear & specific targets in order to success.
- In order for the team to win, there are many ways to achieve that and this what we call (Planning). In our life, we have different ways to achieve our main target which is entering Paradise.
We can learn from team the following:
- Players should play all time of the match with same efforts; otherwise; they can effect the team & they can cause the team to loose. One of the factors of success in life is continuation with same efforts or more in all fields.
- As each player has specific ability; thus he is playing in specific position. We also have certain abilities which can be used & developed in order to be success & effective.
- Any player who doesn’t play well will affect the team and might be substituted from coach. In our life & when we are members in certain teams, if we didn’t perform well, we will affect whole team and might be taken out from these teams.
Cont. / Team
- Team work & Cooperation between players are key factor for success. The same applies in our life for any team we are in it.
- Substitutes should be ready always in any time in the match. It is the role of the coach who should make these substitutes always ready. In life, this is one of the main tasks of leaders to make second & third levels of leaders ready always for any case.
- Motivation is required from all & specially from team leader. The same applies in our life for any team.

4) Referees
- Rules are important in our life as it is important in matches. Referees are ones who control & applies these rules in matches.
- When any violation happens in the match, the referee warns players & yellow or red cards might be used. In our life, leaders should warn people who repeat mistakes. Of course this is after setting with people and listen from them.
- Success referees are those who take success decisions in matches. The same applies in our life for anyone wants to be success.
We can learn from Referees the following:
- Referees take decisions based on what they see. We should also take decision based on studies & statistics in order to be success. - Firmness in the match is one of the key factors for success referees. The same applies for leaders in different fields. It important to differentiate between firmness & toughness. The first is positive & the second is negative.
Cont./ Referees
- One of the main task for referees is time management. We should also manage our time in our life & perform good things since death can come any time. - Referees should have excellent fitness since they should run for 90 minutes or more. This fitness comes with hard & continuous training. Fitness is important for any positive person since he is working continuously.

5) Morals
a) Good Morals
Cooperation: Cooperation is very important factor for any team to win the match. Team work & Cooperation are always important factors for any team to success in life.
Honesty: If we noticed in most matches, unfortunately we can’t see this characteristic common between players. This is common seen specially when any fouls happens. Many players defend themselves that they didn’t do this foul although it was clearly seen. We should be honest always in our in any situations we face. Islam put great prize for those who are honest always which is PARADISE.
Cont. / Good Morals
Forgiveness: Imagine if this characteristic is found between players inside the match. We will see very beautiful match, but unfortunately it rarely found between them. Most of the times, we are seeing violence & rudeness between players, why? Because this nice characteristic (Forgiveness) is not found. The same applies in our life if this characteristic is not found, then we will find violence between people, instead we need to forgive others for their mistakes towards us and we will find great results like respect and thanks.
Cont. / Good Morals
Insistence: This is very important characteristic for any team & it is really shown when there is a team targeting to win a match or tournament, so this characteristic will be reflected on players. Also we can see this characteristic with (small teams) when they are playing against famous teams. Positive people need to have this important characteristic in their life to achieve their target since there are many obstacles which they will face. Without this characteristic, they will stop & won’t reach their targets.
Cont. / Good Morals
Calm: This very nice characteristic for players. These kind of players are usually respected by others since they are not become angry in the match. Being angry in the match will cause many problems for the player & the team and can lead to yellow & red cards for these players. Being calm in life will lead to respect of others since people don’t like anger people. Positive people have this characteristic as one of the main ones in their personality. Many problems in life can be solved we follow this characteristic.
Cont. / Good Morals
Smiling: How beautiful this word is & how big effects it has. When we see any player smiling, we will respect him more than other players specially when they loose. Positive people have this characteristic as main one. People who smiles always are respected by others. It is said that Smiling is like magic and this is almost true. Islam is ensuring on this characteristic and putting nice prize for it.
Cont. / Good Morals
Ambition: We can notice different ambitions between teams. Some teams have high ambitions to win tournaments & some to get points and some to stay between famous team only. Ambition is very important since it will reflect on players while they playing matches. The same thing is in our life. When we have high ambition, we will work hard & our targets will be ambitious too. The opposite is true also. Islam advices us always to be ambitious. The prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) says: “If you ask Allah for heaven, ask him for top Paradise”.
Cont. / Good Morals
Trust: This characteristic is very important in all levels in the team. Between team players, between coach & player, between players & crowd and so on. All levels in trust is important, but most important is trust in Allah & what he saying to us through Quran. Also, trust should be there between leaders & his members in order to success and achieve goals.
Cont. / Good Morals
There are many benefits from this game & we wanted from this presentation to open our minds for some of these benefits.
We wanted from these benefits to be applied in our life so that we feel when we play football that it is not only for fun, but for us to learn from it.
We wanted to say also that we can benefit from any useful games.
