Command verb
وَأَقِيمُوا۟ (And establish) is a command — it's telling someone to do something.
We translate it as a direct command — "[Do this]!"
Verb form IV — causative
وَأَقِيمُوا۟ (And establish) 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)
وَأَقِيمُوا۟ (And establish) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Sahih International
And establish prayer and give zakāh and bow with those who bow [in worship and obedience].
