The word(s) "ask" appears 153 time(s) in 143 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(51) O Yusuf! turn aside from this; and (O my wife)! ask forgiveness for your fault, surely you are one of the wrong-doers.

(52) And the king said: Bring him to me. So when the messenger came to him, he said: Go back to your lord and ask him, what is the case of the women who cut their hands; surely my Lord knows their guile.

(53) They said: O our father! ask forgiveness of our faults for us, surely we were sinners.

(54) He said: I will ask for you forgiveness from my Lord; surely He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

(55) And you do not ask them for a reward for this; it is nothing but a reminder for all mankind.

(56) And they ask you to hasten on the evil before the good, and indeed there have been exemplary punishments before them; and most surely your Lord is the Lord of forgiveness to people, notwithstanding their injustice; and most surely your Lord is severe in requiting (evil).

(57) And they asked for judgment and every insolent opposer was disappointed:

(58) And He gives you of all that you ask Him; and if you count Allah's favors, you will not be able to number them; most surely man is very unjust, very ungrateful.

(59) And We did not send before you any but men to whom We sent revelation-- so ask the followers of the Reminder if you do not know--

(60) And they ask you about the soul. Say: The soul is one of the commands of my Lord, and you are not given aught of knowledge but a little.
