The word(s) "a" appears 55757 time(s) in 6152 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(231) Those who swear that they will not go in to their wives should wait four months; so if they go back, then allah is surely Forgiving, Merciful.

(232) and if they have resolved on a divorce, then allah is surely Hearing, Knowing.

(233) and the divorced women should keep themselves in waiting for three courses; and it is not lawful for them that they should conceal what allah has created in their wombs, if they believe in allah and the last day; and their husbands have a better right to take them back in the meanwhile if they wish for reconciliation; and they have rights similar to those against them in a just manner, and the men are a degree above them, and allah is Mighty, Wise.

(234) Divorce may be (pronounced) twice, then keep (them) in good fellowship or let (them) go with kindness; and it is not lawful for you to take any part of what you have given them, unless both fear that they cannot keep within the limits of allah; then if you fear that they cannot keep within the limits of allah, there is no blame on them for what she gives up to become free thereby. These are the limits of allah, so do not exceed them and whoever exceeds the limits of allah these it is that are the unjust.

(235) So if he divorces her she shall not be lawful to him afterwards until she marries another husband; then if he divorces her there is no blame on them both if they return to each other (by marriage), if they think that they can keep within the limits of allah, and these are the limits of allah which He makes clear for a people who know.

(236) and when you divorce women and they reach their prescribed time, then either retain them in good fellowship or set them free with liberality, and do not retain them for injury, so that you exceed the limits, and whoever does this, he indeed is unjust to his own soul; and do not take allah's communications for a mockery, and remember the favor of allah upon you, and that which He has revealed to you of the Book and the Wisdom, admonishing you thereby; and be careful (of your duty to) allah, and know that allah is the Knower of all things.

(237) and when you have divorced women and they have ended-- their term (of waiting), then do not prevent them from marrying their husbands when they agree among themselves in a lawful manner; with this is admonished he among you who believes in allah and the last day, this is more profitable and purer for you; and allah knows while you do not know.

(238) and the mothers should suckle their children for two whole years for him who desires to make complete the time of suckling; and their maintenance and their clothing must be-- borne by the father according to usage; no soul shall have imposed upon it a duty but to the extent of its capacity; neither shall a mother be made to suffer harm on account of her child, nor a father on account of his child, and a similar duty (devolves) on the (father's) heir, but if both desire weaning by mutual consent and counsel, there is no blame on them, and if you wish to engage a wet-nurse for your children, there is no blame on you so long as you pay what you promised for according to usage; and be careful of (your duty to) allah and know that allah sees what you do.

(239) and (as for) those of you who die and leave wives behind, they should keep themselves in waiting for four months and ten days; then when they have fully attained their term, there is no blame on you for what they do for themselves in a lawful manner; and allah is aware of what you do.

(240) and there is no blame on you respecting that which you speak indirectly in the asking of (such) women in marriage or keep (the proposal) concealed within your minds; allah knows that you will mention them, but do not give them a promise in secret unless you speak in a lawful manner, and do not confirm the marriage tie until the writing is fulfilled, and know that allah knows what is in your minds, therefore beware of Him, and know that allah is Forgiving, Forbearing.
