The word(s) "act" appears 86 time(s) in 70 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(31) And it did not beseem your Lord to have destroyed the towns tyrannously, while their people acted well.

(32) And say to those who do not believe: act according to your state; surely we too are acting.

(33) They said: The requital of this is that the person in whose bag it is found shall himself be (held for) the satisfaction thereof; thus do we punish the wrongdoers.

(34) And in the earth there are tracts side by side and gardens of grapes and corn and palm trees having one root and (others) having distinct roots-- they are watered with one water, and We make some of them excel others in fruit; most surely there are signs in this for a people who understand.

(35) The parable of those who disbelieve in their Lord: their actions are like ashes on which the wind blows hard on a stormy day; they shall not have power over any thing out of what they have earned; this is the great error.

(36) And We have made every man's actions to cling to his neck, and We will bring forth to him on the resurrection day a book which he will find wide open:

(37) What! Do you then feel secure that He will not cause a tract of land to engulf you or send on you a tornado? Then you shall not find a protector for yourselves.

(38) Say: Every one acts according to his manner; but your Lord best knows who is best guided in the path.

(39) And (as for) these towns, We destroyed them when they acted unjustly, and We have appointed a time for their destruction.

(40) They do not precede Him in speech and (only) according to His commandment do they act.
