Example sentence

وَتَقُولُ هَذَا آخِرُ يَوْمٍ مِنْ شَعْبَانِ وَأَوَّلُ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانِ،

And she said, "This is the last day of Sha'ban and the first night of Ramadan."

يَوْمٍ day

This noun is the owned, second half of the 'last of ...' pairing, so it takes the genitive ending that the first term forces on it. The 'of' relationship is built purely by putting the two nouns side by side; there is no separate word for 'of', the case ending does that work.

And what excuse will the one who casts the two revelations behind his back have on a day when excuses will not benefit the wrongdoers?

يَوْمٍ a day

An indefinite noun, 'a day', governed by the preceding 'on' and so genitive. Its indefinite shape, no 'the', leaves the day described by the clause that follows rather than named outright, 'a day on which excuses do not help'. It is the noun that clause defines.
