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.

And fight in the cause of Allāh and know that Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.
