The place of the "Rab" is very central among the names of God, because it also has multiple meanings and can imply many divine characteristics, that will make the translator's problem of selection; and it has also been used in the non-divine sense in some verses of the Qur'an. This use of non-divine characteristics in languages such as Russian, will be challenged the new Muslim audiences with non-monotheistic backgrounds. Accordingly, the research problem is defined as such: what are the challenges of translating the word " Rab" and its solution and has the correct representation of this word been included in the Russian translations of the Holy Quran? In the present study, using a descriptive-analytical method, the translation of this word has been investigated and the result was that: using the "siagh" in three level is the best way to get the meaning of this word and all of the words in the "polysemy" domain. And, of course, none of the Russian-language translators paid attention to this. In the present study, using a descriptive-analytical method, the translation of this word has been investigated and the result was that:

Attributes of Anthropomorphism in some verses of the Qur'an are those that,for some reason such as the approximation of meaning to the minds of the audience, attribute to the Lord the physical members of the servants.This has become a challenging issue in the field of theology; Becausetheman, on the one hand, falls into the habit of believing every object in the pursuit of attributing Anthropomorphism to that object and in the other hand, religious texts emphasize the transformation of this. However, among the Muslims, only the Ash'arites insist on the absence of such a transformation, and attribute the least amount of physicality to God on the Day of Judgment.Since the abovementioned thought can be interpreted from the appearance of the words of such verses, if the translator does not use the necessary precision, the Quran translation will bring physicality closer to the audience belief.The present study aims to investigate how these verses are restored in an analytical-descriptive method in three leadingtranslations of the Russian Qur'an (Karachovsky, Uthmanov, and Prokhova), and answered the question whether in these translations it is possible to interpret the meaning of " God's physicality" by a Russian-speaking audience?The result is that, despite the little attention of Uthman to some of these interpretations, all three translations are faced with a serious deficiency and induce physicality.Therefore, due to the shortcomings of the Russian language in the presentation of the lexical interpretation of such verses, an interpretative translation should be provided.
