The word(s) "avoid" appears 7 time(s) in 7 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

(1) And Allah will not mislead a people after He hath guided them, in order that He may make clear to them what to fear (and avoid)- for Allah hath knowledge of all things.

(2) Who avoid vain talk;

(3) Those who witness no falsehood, and, if they pass by futility, they pass by it with honourable (avoidance);

(4) Those who avoid the greater crimes and shameful deeds, and, when they are angry even then forgive;

(5) O ye who believe! avoid suspicion as much (as possible): for suspicion in some cases is a sin: And spy not on each other behind their backs. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay, ye would abhor it... But fear Allah: For Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.

(6) Those who avoid great sins and shameful deeds, only (falling into) small faults,- verily thy Lord is ample in forgiveness. He knows you well when He brings you out of the earth, And when ye are hidden in your mothers' wombs. Therefore justify not yourselves: He knows best who it is that guards against evil.

(7) But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,
