Conjunction فَ (and then/so)

فَلَوْلَآ (And if not) starts with فَ, which means "and then" or "so" — it shows sequence or consequence.

We add "and then" or "so" to show the order of events.

Conditional (if/when)

فَلَوْلَآ (And if not) introduces a condition — "if this happens, then that happens".

We translate it as "if" or "when".
