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".

And if it had not been for the favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy... and because Allāh is Kind and Merciful.
