  And let him know that his companions on this path are those whom God has favored.

  الصِّرَاطِ — the path. The noun pointed at by 'this' and governed by the earlier 'in', so it carries the genitive ending. Its definite al- assimilates in sound into the following sun letter, doubling that consonant when spoken. Together with the demonstrative it fixes the reference to one specific, familiar path.
