Grammar Rules

Conjunction وَ (and)
وَمَا (And nothing) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Negation (not/no)
وَمَا (And nothing) 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 nothing has prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord except that there [must] befall them the [accustomed] precedent of the former peoples or that the punishment should come [directly] before them.
