Triplet Theory of Translation of Qur'an

Triplet Theory of Translation
(Propounded b Mazhar Anwaar Nurani)The translation theories discussed earlier are mostly relevant and useful for languages spoken and written by peoples inhibiting the globe other than of al-Ḥijāz (ٱلْحِجَاز) - Arabian Peninsula. The language of Arabian Peninsula is uniquely different from other languages of the Globe. Thereby, we need a separate theory which could provide set of rules, principles and processes for its transference to any other language of the entire Globe.
Interestingly the very geographical name reveals its distinction. It stems from Root ح ج ز , Learned Lexicographer Ibn Faris stated
الْحَاءُ وَالْجِيمُ وَالزَّاءُ أَصْلٌ وَاحِدٌ مُطَّرِدُ الْقِيَاسِ، وَهُوَ الْحَوْلُ بَيْنَ الشَّيْئَيْنِ.
That it signifies the perimeter, a dwelling, a surrounding between and around two objects.
لسان العرب — ابن منظور (٧١١ هـالحَجْز الْفَصْلُ بَيْنَ الشَّيْئَيْنِ
That it signifies a detachment, segregation, separation, barrier, or a boundary between and around two objects.
The objective of Qur’ān is also to warn, caution, and awaken people living in and all around her - the entire Globe, now sort of a village
....
The origin and growth process of Arabic language has the analogy to origin and growth process of posterity of Adam (alahissalam). Both have the same origin, the Seed. It is well known that the Source of Nouns and verbs of Arabic language is Root, termed جذر which is defined by Ibn Faris as الْأَصْلُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ signifying ancestry, genealogy, descent and the origin of every thing. With relation to life, be it of human, animals or plants, its origin, the descent is Seed.

peace,
Can you provide a few examples that make it unique?
وَلَوْ جَعَلْنَٟهُ قُرْءَ انٙا أعْجَمِيّٙا
Know it, had Our Majesty rendered it (Qur’ān in Arabic) as a transcription in some language of Non-Arab land, —
لَّقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا فُصِّلَتْ ءَايَٟتُهُۥٓۖ
Certainly they would have said to people exclaiming "Why its Aa'ya'at Verbal Passages (of Qur’ān in non-Arabic language) are not rendered distinct?
ءَاعْجَمِىّٚ وَعَـرَبِـىّٚۗ
Can a Non Arab indistinct language and Arabic distinct-eloquent language of the sons of soil of Arabian Peninsula be considered at par?"
This hypothetical statement regards transcribing the text of Qur’ān literally word by word as such in Non-Arab language and the resultant certain objection by people provides us the key for translation of Qur’ān. Word by word rendition of its unitary Verbal Passages in any Non-Arab language will not yield what to say of being lucid and explicit, it will in fact be no translation since translation is communication of meanings of text and not of just individual words.

I was expecting more examples/detail than what you said but thanks for replying.
وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّـهُـمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا يُعَلِّمُهُۥ بَشَـرٚۗ
And We are certainly aware of their habit that they the elite say to people "Factually only a person teaches him (Muhammad ) the Qur’ān."
لِّسَانُ ٱلَّذِى يُلْحِدُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَعْجَمِىّٚ
The language of the person, whom they dishonestly and unscrupulously keep referring as the person who teaches him (Qur’ān), is non-Arab inexplicit language —
وَهَـٰذَا لِسَانٌ عَـرَبِـىّٚ مُّبِيـنٌ .16103١٠٣
While this language is Arabic rich, clear, perspicuous and eloquent language of Arabian Peninsula characteristically explicit conveyor of information in succinct, individuated, distinct and crystallized manner.
Arabic is adjectivally portrayed as مُّبِيـنٌ an active participle of Form-IV. No other language is مُّبِيـنٌ, self exegetical.
