Grammar Rules

Conjunction وَ (and)
وَإِنْ (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)
وَإِنْ (And if) introduces a condition — "if this happens, then that happens".
We translate it as "if" or "when".

Sahih International

And if you punish [an enemy, O believers], punish with an equivalent of that with which you were harmed. But if you are patient - it is better for those who are patient.
