The word(s) "east" appears 67 time(s) in 64 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(31) And mention Marium in the Book when she drew aside from her family to an eastern place;

(32) When he said to his father; O my father! why do you worship what neither hears nor sees, nor does it avail you in the least:

(33) He said: O my Lord! Expand my breast for me,

(34) And We will set up a just balance on the day of resurrection, so no soul shall be dealt with unjustly in the least; and though there be the weight of a grain of mustard seed, (yet) will We bring it, and sufficient are We to take account.

(35) This is due to what your two hands have sent before, and because Allah is not in the least unjust to the servants.

(36) Have they not travelled in the land so that they should have hearts with which to understand, or ears with which to hear? For surely it is not the eyes that are blind, but blind are the hearts which are in the breasts.

(37) Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth; a likeness of His light is as a niche in which is a lamp, the lamp is in a glass, (and) the glass is as it were a brightly shining star, lit from a blessed olive-tree, neither eastern nor western, the oil whereof almost gives light though fire touch it not-- light upon light-- Allah guides to His light whom He pleases, and Allah sets forth parables for men, and Allah is Cognizant of all things.

(38) And by breast straitens, and my tongue is not eloquent, therefore send Thou to Haroun (to help me);

(39) He said: The Lord of the east and the west and what is between them, if you understand.

(40) And most surely your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they manifest.
