Command verb
وَأَنفِقُوا۟ (And spend) is a command — it's telling someone to do something.
We translate it as a direct command — "[Do this]!"
Verb form IV — causative
وَأَنفِقُوا۟ (And spend) 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)
وَأَنفِقُوا۟ (And spend) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Sahih International
And spend in the way of Allāh and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction [by refraining]. And do good; indeed, Allāh loves the doers of good.
