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

(681) Say: I do not know whether that with which you are threatened be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it a term:

(682) The Knower of the unseen! so He does not reveal His secrets to any,

(683) So that He may know that they have truly delivered the messages of their Lord, and He encompasses what is with them and He records the number of all things.

(684) Surely your Lord knows that you pass in prayer nearly two-thirds of the night, and (sometimes) half of it, and (sometimes) a third of it, and (also) a party of those with you; and Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that you are not able to do it, so He has turned to you (mercifully), therefore read what is easy of the Quran. He knows that there must be among you sick, and others who travel in the land seeking of the bounty of Allah, and others who fight in Allah's way, therefore read as much of it as is easy (to you), and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and offer to Allah a goodly gift, and whatever of good you send on beforehand for yourselves, you will find it with Allah; that is best and greatest in reward; and ask forgiveness of Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

(685) And We have not made the wardens of the fire others than angels, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus does Allah make err whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself; and this is naught but a reminder to the mortals.

(686) Knowing that there will be made to befall them some great calamity.

(687) And you do not please except that Allah please, surely Allah is Knowing, Wise;

(688) So if you have a plan, plan against Me (now).

(689) Nay! they shall soon come to know

(690) Nay! Nay! they shall soon know.
