The word(s) "except" appears 184 time(s) in 178 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(141) And Allah created you of dust, then of the life-germ, then He made you pairs; and no female bears, nor does she bring forth, except with His knowledge; and no one whose life is lengthened has his life lengthened, nor is aught diminished of one's life, but it is all in a book; surely this is easy to Allah.

(142) He it is Who made you rulers in the land; therefore whoever disbelieves, his unbelief is against himself; and their unbelief does not increase the disbelievers with their Lord in anything except hatred; and their unbelief does not increase the disbelievers in anything except loss.

(143) (In) behaving proudly in the land and in planning evil; and the evil plans shall not beset any save the authors of it. Then should they wait for aught except the way of the former people? For you shall not find any alteration in the course of Allah; and you shall not find any change in the course of Allah.

(144) except him who snatches off but once, then there follows him a brightly shining flame.

(145) And you shall not be rewarded except (for) what you did.

(146) except our previous death? And we shall not be chastised?

(147) except the servants of Allah, the purified ones.

(148) except an old woman (who was) amongst those who tarried.

(149) except Thy servants from among them, the purified ones.

(150) And the trumpet shall be blown, so all those that are in the heavens and all those that are in the earth shall swoon, except such as Allah please; then it shall be blown again, then lo! they shall stand up awaiting.
