Grammar Rules
Conjunction وَ (and)
وَلَوْلَا (And if not) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Conditional (if/when)
وَلَوْلَا (And if not) introduces a condition — "if this happens, then that happens".
We translate it as "if" or "when".
Sahih International
And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it [i.e., punishment] would have been an obligation [due immediately], and [if not for] a specified term [decreed].
