Grammar Rules

Emphatic لَ (indeed)
وَلَئِن (And if) starts with لَ for emphasis — it's like saying "indeed!" or "certainly!".
We add "indeed" or "certainly" to show the emphasis.
Conditional (if/when)
وَلَئِن (And if) introduces a condition — "if this happens, then that happens".
We translate it as "if" or "when".

Sahih International

And if you are killed in the cause of Allāh or die - then forgiveness from Allāh and mercy are better than whatever they accumulate [in this world].
