Grammar Rules

Conjunction وَ (and)
وَإِن (But if) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Conditional (if/when)
وَإِن (But if) introduces a condition — "if this happens, then that happens".
We translate it as "if" or "when".

Sahih International

But if they intend to betray you - then they have already betrayed Allāh before, and He empowered [you] over them. And Allāh is Knowing and Wise.
