Command verb
وَأَوْفُوا۟ (And fulfil) is a command — it's telling someone to do something.
We translate it as a direct command — "[Do this]!"
Verb form IV — causative
وَأَوْفُوا۟ (And fulfil) uses form IV (أَفْعَلَ) — the أ at the start makes it causative ("to make someone do something").
We translate it as "to make [someone] do" or "to cause [action]".
Conjunction وَ (and)
وَأَوْفُوا۟ (And fulfil) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Sahih International
And fulfill the covenant of Allāh when you have taken it, [O believers], and do not break oaths after their confirmation while you have made Allāh, over you, a security [i.e., witness]. Indeed, Allāh knows what you do.
