Conjunction وَ (and)

وَلَوْ (And if) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".

We add "and" to connect this to what came before.

Conditional (if/when)

وَلَوْ (And if) introduces a condition — "if this happens, then that happens".

We translate it as "if" or "when".

And if your Lord had willed, He could have made mankind one community; but they will not cease to differ,
