The word(s) "protect" appears 56 time(s) in 51 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(31) And rely on Allah; and Allah is sufficient for a protector.

(32) And be not compliant to the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and leave unregarded their annoying talk, and rely on Allah; and Allah is sufficient as a protector.

(33) To abide therein for a long time; they shall not find a protector or a helper.

(34) As if they were eggs carefully protected.

(35) He said: Surely he has been unjust to you in demanding your ewe (to add) to his own ewes; and most surely most of the partners act wrongfully towards one another, save those who believe and do good, and very few are they; and Dawood was sure that We had tried him, so he sought the protection of his Lord and he fell down bowing and turned time after time (to Him).

(36) Those who bear the power and those around Him celebrate the praise of their Lord and believe in Him and ask protection for those who believe: Our Lord! Thou embracest all things in mercy and knowledge, therefore grant protection to those who turn (to Thee) and follow Thy way, and save them from the punishment of the hell:

(37) So Allah protected him from the evil (consequences) of what they planned, and the most evil punishment overtook Firon's people:

(38) Therefore be patient; surely the promise of Allah is true; and ask protection for your fault and sing the praise of your Lord in the evening and the morning.

(39) O our people! accept the Divine caller and believe in Him, He will forgive you of your faults and protect you from a painful punishment.

(40) That is because Allah is the protector of those who believe, and because the unbelievers shall have no protector for them.
