The word(s) "similitude" appears 42 time(s) in 36 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Pickthal translation.

(21) O mankind! A similitude is coined, so pay ye heed to it: Lo! those on whom ye call beside Allah will never create a fly though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly took something from them, they could not rescue it from it. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought!

(22) Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The similitude of His light is as a niche wherein is a lamp. The lamp is in a glass. The glass is as it were a shining star. (This lamp is) kindled from a blessed tree, an olive neither of the East nor of the West, whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself) though no fire touched it. Light upon light. Allah guideth unto His light whom He will. And Allah speaketh to mankind in allegories, for Allah is Knower of all things.

(23) See how they coin similitudes for thee, so that they are all astray and cannot find a road!

(24) And they bring thee no similitude but We bring thee the Truth (as against it), and better (than their similitude) as argument.

(25) As for these similitudes, We coin them for mankind, but none will grasp their meaning save the wise.

(26) He it is Who produceth creation, then reproduceth it, and it is easier for Him. His is the Sublime similitude in the heavens and the earth. He is the Mighty, the Wise.

(27) He coineth for you a similitude of yourselves. Have ye, from among those whom your right hands possess, partners in the wealth We have bestowed upon you, equal with you in respect thereof, so that ye fear them as ye fear each other (that ye ascribe unto Us partners out of that which We created)? Thus We display the revelations for people who have sense.

(28) Verily We have coined for mankind in this Qur'an all kinds of similitudes; and indeed if thou camest unto them with a miracle, those who disbelieve would verily exclaim: Ye are but tricksters!

(29) Coin for them a similitude: The people of the city when those sent (from Allah) came unto them;

(30) And he hath coined for Us a similitude, and hath forgotten the fact of his creation, saying: Who will revive these bones when they have rotted away?
