Being familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of the opponents have been a really good skill that I have used throughout the four weeks. Once you know their weak spot it would be easy to face them and since there are time where you could take members from others its best to know their ace too. So therefore I think one of the of the lessons in the ASIQS race is to study your surroundings instead of staying in your own bubble.
Having a great leader to lead the group is a very essential part of succeeding in any tasks. So therefore in the ASIQS race choosing your leader is an important thing. In the ASIQS race, each week the leader will get an extra five points and I realized that it's good that when we were choosing our leaders no one wanted to be the leader merely for extra points but for taking up the challenge of leading the group. After picking the leader it is very important to not disobey their orders, by choosing them as your leaders, you are giving him the right to make decisions for the whole group. Having the groups divided and astray will not only make the group not work efficiently, you will also make the jobs of the leaders a lot more harder like mentioned in a hadith
Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Listening to and obeying the leader is an obligation upon a Muslim, whether he likes it or dislikes it, as long as he is not commanded to disobey Allah. If he is commanded to disobey, then there is no listening or obedience.”
In conclusion what I think the second hidden lesson is to choose the right person to be your leader/imam and for the leader is to fulfill their duties. Also not to have other reasons of wanting to be a leader other than leading others.

I'm sure there are so much more lessons that can be found in the ASIQS race but that's all from me for the time being , good day!
