From A Path to Mercy

لِيَزُولَ عَنْ الطَّالِبِ لِلْهِدَايَةِ وَسُلُوكِ الصِّرَاطِ وَحْشَةُ تَفَرُّدِهِ عَنْ أَهْلِ زَمَانِهِ وَبَنُو جِنْسِهِ،

So that the seeker of guidance and follower of the path may be freed from the fear of being singled out from his contemporaries and peers.

الصِّرَاطِ the path

This noun completes an 'of' pairing with the verbal noun before it: 'the following of the path'. Arabic builds 'X of Y' by placing the two nouns directly side by side, with no separate word for 'of', and the second noun (this one) takes the genitive ending. Its definite al- (assimilating into the sun letter) makes it the specific path under discussion.
