وَأَطِيعُوا۟ (So 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 (So obey) uses form IV (أَفْعَلَ) — the أ at the start makes it causative ("to make someone do something").

And obey Allāh and obey the Messenger; but if you turn away - then upon Our Messenger is only [the duty of] clear notification.
