  يَوْمِ — the day of. This noun heads an 'of' pair, 'the day of judgment'.

  يَوْمِ — the Day. The noun governed by the preceding 'to', so it sits in the genitive. It names the endpoint, and it is itself the owner-side of a possessive link with the verb-phrase that follows it.

  يَوْمِ — day of. A noun in the genitive that is the middle of a possessive chain: it is owned by 'terrors' before it and in turn owns the noun after it. Arabic strings nouns directly together for 'X of Y of Z', and this genitive ending is the link that supplies the 'of'.

  From: Public Preaching →

• وإذا قال ﴿مالك يوم الدين﴾ قال الله مجدني عبدي، فإذا قال ﴿إياك نعبد،

  يَوْمِ — Day of. This noun is both the owned tail of the previous pairing and the head of a further 'of'-link with the next word, forming a chain 'Master of the Day of...'. Sitting in the middle of the chain it takes the genitive from the word before while governing the word after, which is how Arabic stacks possessive links.
