Grammar Rules

Command verb
وَأَطِيعُوا۟ (And obey) is a command — it's telling someone to do something.
We translate it as a direct command — "[Do this]!"
Verb form IV — causative
وَأَطِيعُوا۟ (And obey) uses form IV (أَفْعَلَ) — the أ at the start makes it causative ("to make someone do something").
We translate it as "to make [someone] do" or "to cause [action]".
Conjunction وَ (and)
وَأَطِيعُوا۟ (And obey) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.

Sahih International

And obey Allāh and obey the Messenger and beware. And if you turn away - then know that upon Our Messenger is only [the responsibility for] clear notification.
