السُّورَةِ the Surah
Genitive owner of 'end' — 'the sura'; 'to the end of the chapter'.
فقد قرأ مقت الشعراء في سورة الشعراء
He has indeed read the contempt for poets in Surat Ash-Shu'ara.
سُورَةِ Surat
This noun ('chapter') sits in the genitive after 'in', and itself heads a possessive — 'the chapter OF the Poets'. So it stacks two relations: object of the preposition and owner of the title-word coming next.
كما أقسم في أول السورة على حال الانسان في مبدئه ومعاده
As He swore at the beginning of the surah regarding the human condition in its beginning and end.
السُّورَةِ of the surah
The owner half of the pairing, 'the chapter', so 'the beginning of the chapter'. As the possessor it takes the genitive ending and keeps its own 'the'.
كما أقسم في أول السورة على حال الانسان في مبدئه ومعاده
Just as He swore at the beginning of the Surah concerning the state of humankind in their origin and return.
السُّورَةِ the Surah
This is the owner noun 'the chapter' closing 'the beginning of the chapter', in the genitive of the possessive pair, made definite by 'the'. It identifies which chapter's start is meant and lends definiteness back to 'beginning'.
ولناقض ذلك إضافته إلى رسوله الملكي في سورة التكوير
And this would contradict attributing it to His angelic messenger in Surah At-Takwir.
سُورَةِ Surah
The noun 'chapter' heading the pairing 'chapter of At-Takwir' and standing in the form the preceding preposition requires. It draws definiteness from the name that follows as owner.
فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلًا﴾ النساء ٥٩ سورة النساء آية ٥٩
Refer the matter to Allah and the Messenger if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is better and best in final interpretation. Chapter The Women, verse 59.
سُورَةً chapter
A noun meaning 'chapter', heading the citation tag; it pairs with the title that follows in an 'of' relationship, 'chapter of The Women'. It labels what kind of source unit is being cited.
