لِلَّهِ to God
'to God' — 'li' (of ownership) plus the name; the predicate: all praise belongs to God.
الحمد لله الذي جعل الدنيا على الحقيقة معبر اعتبار،
Praise be to Allah who made this world, in truth, a passage for reflection,
لِلَّهِ for Allah
This is the 'li-' meaning 'for/to' joined with the divine name, forcing the genitive, and it is the predicate of 'praise is for God'. It marks God as the one the praise belongs to.
الحمد لله الذي أرسل السحائب بالمطر،
Praise be to Allah who sent the clouds with rain,
لِلَّهِ for Allah
The 'to/for' prefix is a preposition forcing the genitive on the divine name and marking the one the praise is owed to. It completes the formula, linking 'praise' to its rightful recipient, so the whole means praise belongs to Allah.
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَنْقَذَهُ بِي مِنَ النَّارِ
So the Messenger of Allah said, "Praise be to Allah, who saved him through me from the Fire."
لِلَّهِ to Allah
The li- here is the 'belonging / due to' preposition, and it fuses with the divine name to say the praise is owed to Him. Like any preposition it forces the following name into the genitive form. In this fixed formula it answers 'praise to whom?' and completes the verbless 'praise is God's' statement.
فَقَالَ تَعَالَى وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
And He, the Exalted, said, "And give glad tidings to the patient ones, those who, when a misfortune befalls them, say, 'Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.'"
لِلَّهِ to Allah
The li- prefix marks belonging ('to/for'), fused to the divine name, stating that they are God's own. The preposition governs the genitive, so it reads 'to God we belong'.
فَيَكُونُ عَابِدًا لِلَّهِ لَا يَعْبُدُ إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ فَيُطِيعُ أَمْرَهُ وَأَمْرَ رُسُلِهِ
So he becomes a worshipper of God who worships none but Him, and he obeys His command and the command of His messengers.
لِلَّهِ for God
The preposition 'for/to' fused to the divine name, marking God as the one the worship is directed to. It governs the name into the genitive and assigns the worshipper his object of devotion.
فَهِيَ تَتَضَمَّنُ غَايَةَ الذُّلِّ لِلَّهِ بِغَايَةِ الْمَحَبَّةِ لَهُ
So it includes the utmost humility for God by the utmost love for Him.
لِلَّهِ for God
The preposition 'for/to' fused to the divine name, marking God as the one the humility is shown toward, and governing the name into the genitive. It assigns the direction of the devotional lowliness.
وَأَحْتَقِرُ هِمَمَ الْطُّلَّابِ وَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ
I hold the students' ambitions in contempt, and praise be to God.
وَلِلَّهِ and for God
This token fuses the linking wa- with the preposition li- ('to/for') attached to the divine name. It opens the set praise-formula 'and to God...', where li- assigns God as the one all praise belongs to and puts the name in the genitive. The phrase is a fixed devotional aside.
