Verb form IV — causative

وَنُرِيدُ (And We wanted) 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)

وَنُرِيدُ (And We wanted) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".

We add "and" to connect this to what came before.

And We wanted to confer favor upon those who were oppressed in the land and make them leaders and make them inheritors
