Grammar Rules

Indefinite noun
وَظِلٍّۢ (And shade) has no ال and takes tanwīn (the "n" sound at the end), so it means "a" or "some" — not a specific one.
We translate it as "a/an" or leave it general.
Conjunction وَ (and)
وَظِلٍّۢ (And shade) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.

Sahih International

And shade extended.
