The word(s) "a" appears 72159 time(s) in 6196 verse(s) in Quran in Mohsin Khan translation.

(261) allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), al-Hayyul-Qayyum (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists). Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. and they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. and He is the Most High, the Most Great. [This Verse 2:255 is called ayat-ul-Kursi ]

(262) There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. and allah is all-Hearer, all-Knower.

(263) allah is the Wali (Protector or Guardian) of those who believe. He brings them out from darkness into light. But as for those who disbelieve, their auliya (supporters and helpers) are Taghut [false deities and false leaders], they bring them out from light into darkness. Those are the dwellers of the Fire, and they will abide therein forever. (See V.2:81,82)

(264) Have you not looked at him who disputed with Ibrahim (abraham) about his Lord (allah), because allah had given him the kingdom? When Ibrahim (abraham) said (to him): "My Lord (allah) is He Who gives life and causes death." He said, "I give life and cause death." Ibrahim (abraham) said, "Verily! allah brings the sun from the east; then bring it you from the west." So the disbeliever was utterly defeated. and allah guides not the people, who are Zalimun (wrong-doers).

(265) Or like the one who passed by a town while it had tumbled over its roofs. He said: "Oh! How will allah ever bring it to life after its death?" So allah caused him to die for a hundred years, then raised him up (again). He said: "How long did you remain (dead)?" He (the man) said: "(Perhaps) I remained (dead) a day or part of a day". He said: "Nay, you have remained (dead) for a hundred years, look at your food and your drink, they show no change; and look at your donkey! and thus We have made of you a sign for the people. Look at the bones, how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh". When this was clearly shown to him, he said, "I know (now) that allah is able to do all things."

(266) and (remember) when Ibrahim (abraham) said, "My Lord! Show me how You give life to the dead." He (allah) said: "Do you not believe?" He [Ibrahim (abraham)] said: "Yes (I believe), but to be stronger in Faith." He said: "Take four birds, then cause them to incline towards you (then slaughter them, cut them into pieces), and then put a portion of them on every hill, and call them, they will come to you in haste. and know that allah is all-Mighty, all-Wise."

(267) The likeness of those who spend their wealth in the Way of allah, is as the likeness of a grain (of corn); it grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains. allah gives manifold increase to whom He wills. and allah is all-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, all-Knower.

(268) Those who spend their wealth in the Cause of allah, and do not follow up their gifts with reminders of their generosity or with injury, their reward is with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

(269) Kind words and forgiving of faults are better than Sadaqah (charity) followed by injury. and allah is Rich (Free of all needs) and He is Most-Forbearing.

(270) O you who believe! Do not render in vain your Sadaqah (charity) by reminders of your generosity or by injury, like him who spends his wealth to be seen of men, and he does not believe in allah, nor in the Last Day. His likeness is the likeness of a smooth rock on which is a little dust; on it falls heavy rain which leaves it bare. They are not able to do anything with what they have earned. and allah does not guide the disbelieving people.
