أصول الدين هو اسم عظيم،
'The Fundamentals of Religion' is a great name,
اِسْمٌ name
This indefinite noun is the predicate — 'is a name'. Being the fresh comment, it stays indefinite, and the 'is' goes unwritten. The sentence simply rates the title as a weighty 'name'.
وأما العرف في هذا الاسم فهو مختلف باختلاف النحل
As for the custom with this name, it varies according to the differences in sects.
الاِسْمِ name
Genitive after the preposition, this is the noun the demonstrative points at — 'name'. Together they are 'this name', the term whose customary use is being weighed. The shared genitive marks them as one unit governed by 'in'.
وَعَلَّمَكَ أَسْمَاءَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ،
And He taught you the names of all things,
أَسْمَاءَ names
A plural noun standing as the second object of the teaching verb, the content learned. Its case-ending marks it as acted-upon, and it lacks 'the' here because it heads a possessive pairing, drawing its definiteness from the words that follow. So it leans forward to 'of all things' to be complete.
