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.
