The word(s) "acted" appears 13 time(s) in 13 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

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

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

(13) Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.
