The word(s) "first" appears 44 time(s) in 42 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

(31) Say, "He will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is Well-versed in every kind of creation!-

(32) "Except our first death, and that we shall not be punished?"

(33) "And I am commanded to be the first of those who bow to Allah in Islam."

(34) They will say to their skins: "Why bear ye witness against us?" They will say: "Allah hath given us speech,- (He) Who giveth speech to everything: He created you for the first time, and unto Him were ye to return.

(35) Say: "If (Allah) Most Gracious had a son, I would be the first to worship."

(36) "There is nothing beyond our first death, and we shall not be raised again.

(37) Nor will they there taste Death, except the first death; and He will preserve them from the Penalty of the Blazing Fire,-

(38) The Unbelievers say of those who believe: "If (this Message) were a good thing, (such men) would not have gone to it first, before us!" And seeing that they guide not themselves thereby, they will say, "this is an (old,) falsehood!"

(39) Were We then weary with the first Creation, that they should be in confused doubt about a new Creation?

(40) And ye certainly know already the first form of creation: why then do ye not celebrate His praises?
