Example sentence
وَلَقَدْ قَعَدْتُ يَوْمًا عَلَى طَرِيقِهِمْ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْهُ،
And indeed, one day I sat on their road, the road they used to go out from,
طَرِيقِهِمْ their road
A noun for 'road' with the possessive 'their' attached at the end, so one word means 'their road'. The attached 'their' points back to a group of people the narrator is waiting for, established by the wider story, not the nearest noun. Tracking who that 'their' refers to is part of reading the sentence.

كَمَا قَالَ بَعْضُ السَّلَفِ عَلَيْكَ بِطَرِيقِ الْحَقِّ،
As some of the early predecessors said, adhere to the path of truth.
بِطَرِيقِ by the path
The bi- here marks what you are urged to hold onto ('keep to the path'); after the 'upon you' command it points to the thing to be adhered to. The noun it rides heads an 'of' pairing with 'the truth' that follows, so bi- governs that whole 'path of...' phrase into the genitive. It links the command to its object.
وَإِذَا صَاحُوا بِكَ فِي طَرِيقِ سَيْرِكَ فَلَا تَلْتَفِتْ إِلَيْهِمْ،
And if they call out to you in the road of your walking, then do not turn to them.
طَرِيقِ road
This noun ('road') is governed into the genitive by the preceding 'in', and it also heads an 'of' pairing with the next word, so it sits between two pulls. As the first term of the pairing it drops any article and takes its definiteness from the possessed word that follows. The two nouns side by side carry 'of'.
الْهِدَايَةُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَى طَرِيقِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَهُوَ الصِّرَاطُ الْمُوَصِّلُ إِلَيْهَا،
Guidance on the Day of Resurrection is to the path of Paradise, and it is the path that leads to it.
طَرِيقِ path of
The first half of an 'of' pairing ('path of'), owned by 'Paradise' next, with the two set directly together. As the owned term it carries no 'the' of its own and borrows definiteness from the owner. Its genitive ending comes from the preposition governing the phrase.
فَإِبْلِيسُ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ قَاطِعُ طَرِيقِ الْعُقْبَى لِيَصُدَّكُمْ عَنِ الْحَقِّ وَالْهُدَى
So Iblis, may God curse him, is a blocker of the path to the ultimate goal, seeking to turn you away from the truth and guidance.
طَرِيقِ path of
The owner-half of the 'of' pairing 'path of...', in the genitive ending that the pairing forces and stripped of its own 'al-'. It hands its definiteness up to 'blocker' and tells you which path Iblis blocks.
فَإِذَا اسْتَعَذْتَ مِنْهُ هَرَبَ مِنْكَ وَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَى قَطْعِ طَرِيقِ الدِّينِ
When you seek refuge from him, he flees from you and cannot cut off the path of religion.
طَرِيق path
The first noun of an 'of' pairing ('path OF religion'), itself sitting in the genitive ending because the whole 'cutting of the path' chain is governed by 'upon'. It drops its own 'al-' and takes definiteness from the owner that follows.
