• الَّذِي نَصَبَهُ اللَّهُ لِعِبَادِهِ فِي هَذِهِ الدَّارِ

  which God has set it up for His servants in this world.

  لِعِبَادِهِ — for His servants. Three pieces in one word: the preposition li- ('for'), the noun 'servants', and an attached -hi ('His'). So it means 'for His servants', marking those the path was set up for. The -hi points back to God, and the preposition forces the noun into the genitive ending.
