Command verb
۞ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ (And know) is a command — it's telling someone to do something.
We translate it as a direct command — "[Do this]!"
Conjunction وَ (and)
۞ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ (And know) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Sahih International
And know that anything you obtain of war booty - then indeed, for Allāh is one fifth of it and for the Messenger and for [his] near relatives and the orphans, the needy, and the [stranded] traveler, if you have believed in Allāh and in that which We sent down to Our Servant on the day of criterion [i.e., decisive encounter] - the day when the two armies met [at Badr]. And Allāh, over all things, is competent.
