وَالدِّينِ and religion
wa- coordinates a second owner ('and of religion') onto the chain, sharing the same 'calamities of'. The conjunction pairs the two domains the calamities arise from under one head noun.
وَقِيلَ الصَّبْرُ ثَبَاتٌ بَاعِثٌ الْعَقْلِ وَالدِّينِ فِي مُقَابَلَةِ بَاعِثِ الْهَوَى وَالشَّهْوَةِ
It is said that patience is the steadiness that serves as the driving force of reason and religion in opposing the impulses of desire and lust.
وَالْدِّينِ religion
Here wa- pairs 'religion' with 'reason' as a matched twosome, both jointly owned by the 'driving force'. This is the wa- of pairing, binding the two into one 'reason-and-religion' unit rather than a loose list. The noun stays definite and in the genitive like its partner.
فَيَسْقُطُ مُنَازِعُهُ بَاعِثُ الدِّينِ بِالْكُلِّيَّةِ
Then his contender, the instigator of religion, collapses completely.
الدَّيْنِ of religion
This definite noun is the owner in the pairing 'instigator of religion' and stands in the genitive. The 'of' link is formed purely by placing the two nouns side by side, and this owner noun fixes which instigator is meant.
فَقَدْ ثَبَتَ عَلَى الدِّينِ الْقَوِيمِ
Indeed, he remained steadfast in the upright religion.
الدِّينِ the religion
Definite by 'al-' and in the genitive ending because the preceding preposition governs it. It is the firm ground of the steadfastness, what the believer stays standing upon.
