They are the ones who rush to matters of charity and who are in the front.

Tafsir

People who possess these four qualities always try to do good, to spread Allah's justice in the world, to take care of the orphan, the poor and the destitute as much as they can, to meet their needs, to take the needy by the hand, and to help them develop. They explain Allah's commandment to people who have such vices as drinking, gambling, fornication and interest, and try to prevent them from such evils.

What is said in the video

To verse 61 we have come.

It is they who hasten to good deeds and compete in doing good. People who have these four qualities always strive to do good, to spread Allah's justice on earth, to watch over the orphan, the poor and the motherless as far as they can and meet their needs, to take the needy by the hand and help them get back on their feet. By explaining Allah's command to people who have traits such as drinking, gambling, fornication and usury, they try to keep them from such evils. With what beautiful verses Allah Almighty tells people to live like brothers, to support one another, to live on earth in a festive atmosphere and finish their lives, and finally to come to a happy end in the hereafter as well, and that they will (?) belong to paradise; how beautifully He makes this known.

Allah Almighty does not say (?): work and serve Me. He does not say: give Me a part of what you work for. What does He say? Know Me. Be human.

Correct your character, your temperament. Do no evil to anyone. Do not step outside My command. Take care of the body I have given you. Do not use it in bad ways.

If I entrusted something to you and you used it treacherously, would I not be angry with you? So if a person has such qualities, these beautiful qualities of Allah, he attains Allah's mercy.
