اعْلَم يَا أخي أَن العَبْد إِذا اعْتصمَ بِحَبل السُّلْطَان الْمَخْلُوق سلم من شَرّ الظَّالِمين
Know, my brother, that if a servant clings to the rope of the created ruler, he is safe from the evil of the oppressors.
السُّلْطَانِ of the ruler
These two nouns form an 'of' possessive pairing where this second noun owns the first: it is the rope of the ruler. The owner noun takes the (genitive) ending that this possessive relationship demands, and it stays definite to fix exactly whose rope.

خَلَعْوُا نُصُوصَ الْوَحْيِ عَنْ سُلْطَانِ الْحَقِيقَةِ،
They stripped the revelatory texts of the authority of truth,
سُلْطَانِ authority
This noun is the head of a possessive pair, 'authority OF the truth', bound directly to the noun after it. It is in the genitive because the preceding 'from' governs it, and it stays without its own 'the', drawing its definiteness from the owner that follows.
