الْآيَةِ of a verse

A verse after dawn opens the heart,
آيَةٌ a verse

Each of these is a sign of the signs of Allah, indicating His lordship.
آيَةٌ a sign
An indefinite noun with no 'the', presented as the fresh predicate: each one 'is a sign'. Arabic needs no verb 'is' to link subject and predicate; placing this bare noun after the subject is itself the full statement, and its indefiniteness marks it as new information.
هذا هو الصحيح في معنى الآية
This is the correct interpretation of the verse.
الآيَةِ of the verse
This is the owner noun 'the verse' closing 'the meaning of the verse', in the genitive of the possessive pair, made definite by 'the'. It fixes which verse's meaning is meant and lends definiteness back to 'meaning'.
الآيَة وشواهد هَذَا كَثِيرَة فِي الْكتاب وَالسّنة
This verse and the evidences of this are many in the Book and the Sunnah.
الآيَةُ the verse
Definite noun, 'the verse', the subject of a verbless equational sentence. The 'the' points to the specific verse just cited; it is the topic of 'the verse and its evidences are many'.
لَئِنْ جَاءَتْهُمْ آيَةٌ لَيُؤْمِنُنَّ بِهَا
If a sign were to come to them, they would surely believe in it.
آيَةٌ a sign
The noun 'a sign' is the doer of 'came', placed after the verb in normal Arabic order and marked with the indefinite subject case. Being grammatically feminine is what triggered the feminine ending on the verb before it.
تَكَلُّفُ تَسْمِيَةِ مَا قَرَأَ الْقَارِئُونَ آيَةً آيَةً عَلَى التَّرْتِيبِ لَعَجَزَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ،
He took the trouble to name, verse by verse and in order, what the reciters had read because he was unable to do so.
آيَةً a verse
An indefinite noun 'a verse' in the object-style case. It is the first of a doubled pair: the same noun repeated back-to-back forms the distributive 'verse by verse'. The accusative marks its adverbial, manner-of-naming role rather than a plain object.
تَكَلُّفُ تَسْمِيَةِ مَا قَرَأَ الْقَارِئُونَ آيَةً آيَةً عَلَى التَّرْتِيبِ لَعَجَزَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ،
He took the trouble to name, verse by verse and in order, what the reciters had read because he was unable to do so.
آيَةً a verse
A second 'a verse', repeating the previous word to build the distributive idiom 'verse by verse'. Arabic doubles the counted noun to mean 'one X at a time', so this repetition is grammatical, not redundant. Like its twin it sits in the adverbial accusative.
