لِيَصُدَّ النَّاسَ عَنْهَا
to turn people away from it
لِيَصُدَّ to turn away
The li- prefix here is the 'in order to' of purpose, and it bends the following verb into its subjunctive shape. So beyond a stray 'to', its grammatical job is to mark the aim of the action and to govern the verb's changed ending.
فَإِبْلِيسُ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ قَاطِعُ طَرِيقِ الْعُقْبَى لِيَصُدَّكُمْ عَنِ الْحَقِّ وَالْهُدَى
So Iblis, may God curse him, is a blocker of the path to the ultimate goal, seeking to turn you away from the truth and guidance.
لِيَصُدَّكُمْ in order to turn you away
The front 'li-' here is a purpose marker ('in order to'), and after it the verb shifts into its subjunctive shape to show aim rather than fact. The '-kum' ('you', plural) fused on the end is the object turned away, so the word states the goal: to bar you all.
