The word(s) "first" appears 43 time(s) in 43 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(41) He is the first and the Last and the Ascendant (over all) and the Knower of hidden things, and He is Cognizant of all things.

(42) He it is Who caused those who disbelieved of the followers of the Book to go forth from their homes at the first banishment you did not think that they would go forth, while they were certain that their fortresses would defend them against Allah; but Allah came to them whence they did not expect, and cast terror into their hearts; they demolished their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers; therefore take a lesson, O you who have eyes!

(43) They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state?
