Grammar Rules
Past tense verb
وَسَخَّرَ (And He subjected) is a past tense verb — the action already happened and is complete.
We translate it in past tense — "did", "created", "said", etc.
Verb form II — intensified
وَسَخَّرَ (And He subjected) uses form II (فَعَّلَ) — the middle letter is doubled, which makes the meaning stronger or causative.
The meaning is more intense than the basic form, or means "to make someone do [action]".
Conjunction وَ (and)
وَسَخَّرَ (And He subjected) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Sahih International
And He subjected for you the sun and the moon, continuous [in orbit], and subjected for you the night and the day.
