Conditional (if/when)
وَلَوْ (And if) introduces a condition — "if this happens, then that happens".
We translate it as "if" or "when".
Sahih International
And if We had willed, We could have elevated him thereby, but he adhered [instead] to the earth and followed his own desire. So his example is like that of the dog: if you chase him, he pants, or if you leave him, he [still] pants. That is the example of the people who denied Our signs. So relate the stories that perhaps they will give thought.
