The Bible talks about competition with horses, in games, and with athlete. The Quran talks about the competition of man's destiny and fortune in the Afterlife.
Jeremiah 12:5
[ God's Answer ] "If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?
1 Corinthians 9:25
Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
2 Timothy 2:5
Similarly, if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not receive the victor's crown unless he competes according to the rules.
========
Surah 83 talks about the competition that is mentioned once in the Quran.
Verses 18 through 36 describe the outcome of this required competition.
