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".

If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell].
