Command verb

وَقَـٰتِلُوا۟ (And fight) is a command — it's telling someone to do something.

We translate it as a direct command — "[Do this]!"

Verb form III — mutual action

وَقَـٰتِلُوا۟ (And fight) uses form III (فَاعَلَ) — it describes doing something with or to each other.

The action involves two parties.

Conjunction وَ (and)

وَقَـٰتِلُوا۟ (And fight) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".

We add "and" to connect this to what came before.

Fight in the way of Allāh those who fight against you but do not transgress. Indeed, Allāh does not like transgressors.
