He must refer every occurrence to the judge of reason.
يَرْفَعَ he refers
Present-tense verb pushed into the subjunctive by the 'to' before it (note the bare '-a' ending); 'he' is built in. Literally 'raise, refer upward'.
ثم ترفعه بقيّةُ توحيده وأعماله الصادقة؛
then what remains of his belief in God's oneness and his sincere deeds will elevate him;
تَرْفَعُهُ will elevate him
Present 'raises him', with 'him' attached as object; subject 'the remnant' next; verb-first.

'And' plus a present-tense verb 'raises / lifts', subject 'He' inside. The opposite of 'lowers', closing the run of paired powers.
والحاجياتِ التي ترفعُ الحرجَ والمشقَّةَ،
needs that alleviate difficulty and hardship,
تَرْفَعُ alleviate
'raise / lift away,' the verb of the relative clause — needs are what 'lift off' difficulty. Its two objects (hardship and strain) follow; the present tense states their standing function.
فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ وَرَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ عَلَيْهِ
Sa'd said to him and raised his voice at him.
وَرَفَعَ and raised
A leading 'and' joining a second past verb 'and raised'; with 'he' inside, it adds a simultaneous action onto the speaking. It describes how the words were delivered.
فَقَالَ لَهُ أُمْيَّةُ لَا تَرْفَعْ صَوْتَكَ يَا سَعْدُ
Umayya said to him, 'Do not raise your voice, O Sa'd.'
تَرْفَعْ you raise
A present verb with 'you' inside, here in the clipped (jussive) ending demanded by the 'do not' before it. That shortened ending is precisely how Arabic marks the verb as a prohibition.
