Command verb
وَٱضْرِبْ (And present) is a command — it's telling someone to do something.
We translate it as a direct command — "[Do this]!"
Conjunction وَ (and)
وَٱضْرِبْ (And present) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Sahih International
And present to them the example of the life of this world, [its being] like rain which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it and [then] it becomes dry remnants, scattered by the winds. And Allāh is ever, over all things, Perfect in Ability.
