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

(861) And those who respond to their Lord and keep up prayer, and their rule is to take counsel among themselves, and who spend out of what We have given them.

(862) But if they turn aside, We have not sent you as a watcher over them; on you is only to deliver (the message); and surely when We make man taste mercy from Us, he rejoices thereat; and if an evil afflicts them on account of what their hands have already done, then-surely man is ungrateful.

(863) Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; He creates what He pleases; He grants to whom He pleases daughters and grants to whom He pleases sons.

(864) And it is not for any mortal that Allah should speak to him except by revelation or from behind a veil, or by sending a messenger and revealing by His permission what He pleases; surely He is High, Wise.

(865) And thus did We reveal to you an inspired book by Our command. You did not know what the Book was, nor (what) the faith (was), but We made it a light, guiding thereby whom We please of Our servants; and most surely you show the way to the right path:

(866) The path of Allah, Whose is whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth; now surely to Allah do all affairs eventually come.

(867) what! shall We then turn away the reminder from you altogether because you are an extravagant people?

(868) And He Who created pairs of all things, and made for you of the ships and the cattle what you ride on,

(869) what! has He taken daughters to Himself of what He Himself creates and chosen you to have sons?

(870) what! that which is made in ornaments and which in contention is unable to make plain speech!
