All praise is due to God, who made the world, in truth, a passage for reflection,
معبر — a passage. The second object of 'made' — what the world was turned into. It is indefinite, 'a passage', and takes the object ending; pairing it with the earlier first object completes the 'made X into Y' pattern. The metaphor casts worldly life as a crossing-place rather than a destination.
