The word(s) "now" appears 834 time(s) in 705 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(591) And certainly We chose them, having knowledge, above the nations.

(592) We did not create them both but with the truth, but most of them do not know.

(593) And when he comes to know of any of Our communications, he takes it for a jest; these it is that shall have abasing chastisement.

(594) And We gave them clear arguments in the affair, but they did not differ until after knowledge had come to them out of envy among themselves; surely your -Lord will judge between them on the day of resurrection concerning that wherein they differed.

(595) Then We have made you follow a course in the affair, therefore follow it, and do not follow the low desires of those who do not know.

(596) Have you then considered him who takes his low desire for his god, and Allah has made him err having knowledge and has set a seal upon his ear and his heart and put a covering upon his eye. Who can then guide him after Allah? Will you not then be mindful?

(597) And they say: There is nothing but our life in this world; we live and die and nothing destroys us but time, and they have no knowledge of that; they only conjecture.

(598) Say: Allah gives you life, then He makes you die, then will He gather you to the day of resurrection wherein is no doubt, but most people do not know.

(599) And when it was said, Surely the promise of Allah is true and as for the hour, there is no doubt about it, you said: We do not know what the hour is; we do not think (that it will come to pass) save a passing thought, and we are not at all sure.

(600) Say: Have you considered what you call upon besides Allah? Show me what they have created of the earth, or have they a share in the heavens? Bring me a book before this or traces of knowledge, if you are truthful.
