The word(s) "ad" appears 1454 time(s) in 1186 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

(581) He will say: "O my Lord! why hast Thou raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)?"

(582) Had it not been for a Word that went forth before from thy Lord, (their punishment) must necessarily have come; but there is a Term appointed (for respite).

(583) And if We had inflicted on them a penalty before this, they would have said: "Our Lord! If only Thou hadst sent us a messenger, we should certainly have followed Thy Signs before we were humbled and put to shame."

(584) And that cry of theirs ceased not, till We made them as a field that is mown, as ashes silent and quenched.

(585) If it had been Our wish to take (just) a pastime, We should surely have taken it from the things nearest to Us, if We would do (such a thing)!

(586) Or have they taken (for worship) gods from the earth who can raise (the dead)?

(587) Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?

(588) And We have set on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with them, and We have made therein broad highways (between mountains) for them to pass through: that they may receive Guidance.

(589) And We have made the heavens as a canopy well guarded: yet do they turn away from the Signs which these things (point to)!

(590) Nay, We gave the good things of this life to these men and their fathers until the period grew long for them; See they not that We gradually reduce the land (in their control) from its outlying borders? Is it then they who will win?
