The word(s) "act" appears 187 time(s) in 178 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

(141) "Or (lest) it should say when it (actually) sees the penalty: 'If only I had another chance, I should certainly be among those who do good!'

(142) But their professing the Faith when they (actually) saw Our Punishment was not going to profit them. (Such has been) Allah's Way of dealing with His Servants (from the most ancient times). And even thus did the Rejecters of Allah perish (utterly)!

(143) Those who practise not regular Charity, and who even deny the Hereafter.

(144) But We delivered those who believed and practised righteousness.

(145) So We exacted retribution from them: now see what was the end of those who rejected (Truth)!

(146) Even if We take thee away, We shall be sure to exact retribution from them,

(147) When at length they provoked Us, We exacted retribution from them, and We drowned them all.

(148) Ye shall have therein abundance of fruit, from which ye shall have satisfaction.

(149) One day We shall seize you with a mighty onslaught: We will indeed (then) exact Retribution!

(150) And in the creation of yourselves and the fact that animals are scattered (through the earth), are Signs for those of assured Faith.
