We have to go through four stages when studying any Surah:
1) Preparation
We concluded this step from السعدي's interpretation of the verses in [73:1-6]:
Allah commands the Prophet ﷺ to make ترتيل, because He'll send down a Mighty Word; which comprises of Noble Great Meanings. And we won't attain these meanings until He prepares for it. It's as if Allah is telling him and us to prepare for the Qur'an with the Qur'an.
Why should we recite the Quran at night? Because it's a time where you'll be able to collect your heart more.

Verse 24:
Belief in Allah
ربك
Allah's command - حكم ربك
RULING: When we have a noun joined with Allah's name it could be of two types:
1) إضافة مخلوق الى خالقه - The creature is connected to the creator
E.g. بيت الله, عباد الله، ناقة الله، روحه
They are independent creations, and can be separated.
Why did Allah connect the creation with Him? For many purposes; one of which is to honour that creation. اضافة تشريف.
2) إضافة صفه إلى الموصوف - To connect an attribute with the One attributed.
E.g. وجه الله، كلام الله، يد الله, حكم ربك
But this is an attribute of Allah, and cannot be independent to have a complete meaning.
If you are confused if it's a creation or attribute, pause for a while. If you're not sure, put a question mark and check what the Scholars said on this.
Other Pillars
Belief in the Prophets. The Prophet Muhammed ﷺ. Allah commands Him with certain commands and prohibits him from certain prohibitions, and whatever Allah commanded the Prophet ﷺ, is also a command for us.
The descriptions of people, stories, rulings, etc.
Commands / أحكام
1) فاصبر
2) Don't disobey any sinner or disbeliever
This is an evidence that we aren't supposed to obey, follow, or even consult a Kaafir. Allah is forbidding us to obey them; especially regarding the reformation of our souls. So those who go to disbelieving psychiatrists for consultation are disobeying this command.
And we have an honour for the Prophet ﷺ, Allah said "ربك". It's considered إضافة تشريف.
We have to discuss our Aqeedah in every verse. We have to write down our list of observations.
