Grammar Rules

Past tense verb
وَقَالَ (And said) is a past tense verb — the action already happened and is complete.
We translate it in past tense — "did", "created", "said", etc.
Conjunction وَ (and)
وَقَالَ (And said) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.

Sahih International

And those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Follow our way, and we will carry your sins." But they will not carry anything of their sins. Indeed, they are liars.
