Example sentence

وَعِلَاجُ الأَبْدَانِ أَيْسَرُ خَطَبًا حِينَ تَعْتَلُ مِنْ عِلَاجِ الْعُقُولِ

And the treatment of bodies is an easier matter when they fall ill than the treatment of minds.

الْعُقُولِ the minds

This is the possessed half of the 'treatment of minds' pairing, so it sits in the (genitive) and supplies the definiteness for the whole phrase through its al-. It is a plural naming the mental faculties as a category. Pairing it against 'bodies' is what makes the sentence a contrast between two kinds of treatment.

By your life, nothing you fail to obtain is lost through injustice; rather, minds are mutually deluded.

الْعُقُولِ the minds

This noun stands in the (genitive) under the preceding 'in'; its al- makes it definite, 'the minds'. It is the location the line says the real deficiency lies in. Its case is the grammatical effect of the preposition before it.
