The word(s) "what" appears 1331 time(s) in 1076 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(291) what! do they then feel secure from Allah's plan? But none feels secure from Allah's plan except the people who shall perish.

(292) These towns-- We relate to you some of their stories, and certainly their apostles came to them with clear arguments, but they would not believe in what they rejected at first; thus does Allah set a seal over the hearts of the unbelievers

(293) Then we raised after them Musa with Our communications to Firon and his chiefs, but they disbelieved in them; consider then what was the end of the mischief makers.

(294) He intends to turn you out of your land. what counsel do you then give?

(295) So the truth was established, and what they did became null.

(296) And they said: whatever sign you may bring to us to charm us with it-- we will not believe in you.

(297) And We made the people who were deemed weak to inherit the eastern lands and the western ones which We had blessed; and the good word of your Lord was fulfilled in the children of Israel because they bore up (sufferings) patiently; and We utterly destroyed what Firon and his people had wrought and what they built.

(298) He said: what! shall I seek for you a god other than Allah while He has made you excel (all) created things?

(299) He said: O Musa! surely I have chosen you above the people with My messages and with My words, therefore take hold of what I give to you and be of the grateful ones.

(300) And We ordained for him in the tablets admonition of every kind and clear explanation of all things; so take hold of them with firmness and enjoin your people to take hold of what is best thereof; I will show you the abode of the transgressors.
