ٱلْإِسْلَامِ Islam
Genitive after 'in', this is 'Islam' — the faith they were born into. Its ending follows from the preposition.
تركها من حسن إسلام العبد،
Abandoning them is from the goodness of a servant's Islam.
إِسْلَامِ of the Islam
This noun, the Islam-of, is the owner of the goodness yet itself the head of a further pairing owning 'the servant'. Arabic can stack such chains, each noun owning the next, so this word is both owned by the previous and owner of the following.
وحامل راية الإسلام وحامي حوزة الدين ومحيي السنة عند عوام أصحابه،
And the bearer of the banner of Islam, the protector of the domain of the faith, and the reviver of the Sunnah in the view of the common people among his followers.
الإِسْلَامِ Islam
This noun, Islam, is the final owner closing the stacked chain, genitive and definite by 'al-', completing 'the bearer of the banner of Islam'. Its definiteness flows up the chain to the whole phrase.
فالعافية أفضل ما أنعم الله به على الإنسان بعد الإسلام،
Well-being is the best blessing God granted to man after Islam.
الْإِسْلَامِ Islam
The owner-noun completing 'after Islam', set straight after, in the (genitive) possessor form, with 'the' marking the faith itself. It fixes the point in time the ranking is measured from.
وعلى علي الذي من زمن الطفولية في الإسلام ربي،
And upon Ali, who was nurtured in Islam since childhood.
ٱلْإِسْلَامِ Islam
The al- makes this definite, 'the Islam'. As the noun governed by the preposition 'in', it takes the -i ending Arabic assigns to objects of a preposition.
فَأَسْنَدَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ إلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَوَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى فَخِذَيْهِ، وَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ الْإِسْلَامِ
He rested his knees against his knees and placed his hands on his thighs, and said: 'O Muhammad, tell me about Islam.'
الْإِسْلَامِ Islam
The 'the' makes this noun definite, and it sits in the genitive because the preposition 'about' governs it. It names the subject the stranger asks the Prophet to explain.
