Grammar Rules
Conjunction وَ (and)
وَلَوْلَآ (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)
وَلَوْلَآ (And if not) introduces a condition — "if this happens, then that happens".
We translate it as "if" or "when".
Sahih International
And if it were not that the people would become one community [of disbelievers], We would have made for those who disbelieve in the Most Merciful - for their houses - ceilings and stairways of silver upon which to mount.
