The word(s) "before" appears 360 time(s) in 348 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(231) (Such has been) the course of Allah with respect to those who have gone before; and you shall not find any change in the course of Allah.

(232) Do they not then consider what is before them and what is behind them of the heaven and the earth? If We please We will make them disappear in the land or bring down upon them a portion from the heaven; most surely there is a sign in this for every servant turning (to Allah).

(233) And (We made) the wind (subservient) to Sulaiman, which made a month's journey in the morning and a month's journey in the evening, and We made a fountain of molten copper to flow out for him, and of the jinn there were those who worked before him by the command of his Lord; and whoever turned aside from Our command from among them, We made him taste of the punishment of burning.

(234) And those who disbelieve say: By no means will we believe in this Quran, nor in that which is before it; and could you see when the unjust shall be made to stand before their Lord, bandying words one with another! Those who were reckoned weak shall say to those who were proud: Had it not been for you we would certainly have been believers.

(235) And We have not given them any books which they read, nor did We send to them before you a warner.

(236) And those before them rejected (the truth), and these have not yet attained a tenth of what We gave them, but they gave the lie to My apostles, then how was the manifestation of My disapproval?

(237) Say: I exhort you only to one thing, that rise up for Allah's sake in twos and singly, then ponder: there is no madness in your fellow-citizen; he is only a warner to you before a severe chastisement.

(238) And they disbelieved in it before, and they utter conjectures with regard to the unseen from a distant place.

(239) And a barrier shall be placed between them and that which they desire, as was done with the likes of them before: surely they are in a disquieting doubt.

(240) And if they call you a liar, truly apostles before you were called liars, and to Allah are all affairs returned.
