Past tense verb

وَقَالُوا۟ (And they say) 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)

وَقَالُوا۟ (And they say) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".

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

And they say, "Our Lord, hasten for us our share [of the punishment] before the Day of Account."
