الكَلِماتُ الَّتِي بِاللَّوْنِ الأَزْرَقِ كُلُّها جاءَتْ مَجْرُورَةً بَعْدَ المُضافِ لِتَوْضِيحِهِ، وَتُسَمَّى "المُضافَ إِلَيْهِ".

All the words in blue color came in the genitive case after the genitive construct to clarify it, and they are called the 'genitive-to' (mudaf ilayhi).

المُضافُ وَالمُضافُ إِلَيْهِ تَرْكِيبٌ واحِدٌ يَدُلَّانِ مَعًا عَلى شَيْءٍ مُحَدَّدٍ وَمَعْنًى واضِحٍ، مِثْلَ: شَجَرَةُ البُرْتُقالِ، سَعادَةُ النَّفْسِ.

The genitive construct and the genitive-to are one structure that together indicate a specific thing and a clear meaning, such as: orange tree, happiness of the soul.

المُضافُ وَالمُضافُ إِلَيْهِ: اسْمانِ مُتَتالِيانِ، الأَوَّلُ مِنْهُما لا يَبْدَأُ بِالأَلِفِ وَاللَّامِ (ال)، وَيُسَمَّى "المُضافَ"، وَيَحْتاجُ إلى الِاسْمِ الَّذِي بَعْدَهُ المُضافِ إِلَيْهِ لِيُعَرِّفَهُ، أَوْ لِيُوَضِّحَهُ.

The genitive construct and the genitive-to: two consecutive nouns, the first of which does not begin with alif and lam (al), and it is called the 'genitive construct', and it needs the noun that follows it, the 'genitive-to', to define it or clarify it.
