الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْحَقِيقَةِ مَعْبَرًا اِعْتِبَارًا،
All praise is due to God, who made the world, in truth, a passage for reflection,
اعتبار — for reflection. An indefinite noun in the object form used to express purpose — 'as / for reflection'. This accusative-of-purpose use lets a bare noun answer 'why', without any preposition, telling what the passage is for. Arabic often packs a reason into a single object-form noun like this.
