Grammar Rules

Conjunction وَ (and)
وَمَآ (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)
وَمَآ (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 We sent not before you [as messengers] except men to whom We revealed from among the people of cities. So have they not traveled through the earth and observed how was the end of those before them? And the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allāh; then will you not reason?
