A definite noun, 'the companion', governed by the preceding preposition and so genitive. With 'the', it points to a particular, understood companion, the right fellow-traveller on the spiritual road. It is the thing God is said to have highlighted.

رَفِيقًا a companion
An indefinite noun 'a companion', the second complement of 'make me': make me into a companion. Such 'render X (into) Y' verbs take two objects, and this is the resulting state, in the object form. So it states what the speaker asks to be turned into.

رَفِيقَ companion
This verb takes two things: 'him' (already attached to the verb) and this noun as the second piece, naming what he is being made into. The noun also heads an 'X of Y' pair finished by the next name. So it both completes the 'make him a...' frame and owns the following genitive.
