لِلَّهِ for Allah
This is 'for / to' plus 'God', a possessive predicate fronted before the subject — 'to God [belong]...' = 'God has...'. Arabic says 'X has Y' as 'to X [is] Y', and placing 'to God' first gives it prominence. It governs the name in the genitive.

One of them is to set up for Allah an equal and worship something else, such as a stone, tree, sun, moon, prophet, saint, star, angel, or anything else.
لِلَّهِ for Allah
The front prefix is a 'for/to' preposition forcing the divine name into the (genitive) form, 'for Allah'. It marks the One alongside whom a rival is wrongly set up.

لِلَّهِ to God
The 'to/for' prefix is a preposition forcing the genitive on the divine name and here marking the one the praise is owed to. It completes the formula by linking 'praise' to its rightful recipient, so the whole means praise belongs to God.

Praise be to Allah, whom the fresh branch and the dry twig glorify.
لِلَّهِ to Allah
A 'for/to' preposition is fused to the front, marking who the praise is due to, and it forces the divine name into the 'of' ending. The pairing sets up the standard formula that all praise belongs to God, naming the recipient.
وَيُقَالُ يَدَيْنِ اللَّهِ وَيَدَيْنِ لِلَّهِ أَيْ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ وَيُطِيعُهُ وَيَخْضَعُ لَهُ
And it is said: he submits to God; that is, he worships God, obeys Him, and submits to Him.
لِلَّهِ to God
The preposition 'to' fused to the divine name, marking the direction of the submission and governing it into the genitive. It assigns God as the one toward whom the submitting is directed.

لِلَّهِ to God
A single word doing two jobs: the front li- is a preposition meaning the praise is directed or owed 'to' something, and it forces the divine name onto its genitive ending. So this packs 'to/for' plus the noun into one written unit and assigns it the recipient role of the praise.
