Conjunction وَ (and)
وَمَا (And not) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Negation (not/no)
وَمَا (And not) is a negation word — it makes the next word negative, like "not" or "no".
We add "not" or "no" to negate what follows.
Sahih International
And mankind was not but one community [united in religion], but [then] they differed. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it would have been judged between them [immediately] concerning that over which they differ.
