The word(s) "east" appears 80 time(s) in 78 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

(61) Those in the Fire will say to the Keepers of Hell: "Pray to your Lord to lighten us the Penalty for a day (at least)!"

(62) Those who dispute about the signs of Allah without any authority bestowed on them,- there is nothing in their breasts but (the quest of) greatness, which they shall never attain to: seek refuge, then, in Allah: It is He Who hears and sees (all things).

(63) Whoever works righteousness benefits his own soul; whoever works evil, it is against his own soul: nor is thy Lord ever unjust (in the least) to His Servants.

(64) At length, when (such a one) comes to Us, he says (to his evil companion): "Would that between me and thee were the distance of east and West!" Ah! evil is the companion (indeed)!

(65) "If ye believe me not, at least keep yourselves away from me."

(66) Those who reject Allah, hinder (men) from the Path of Allah, and resist the Messenger, after Guidance has been clearly shown to them, will not injure Allah in the least, but He will make their deeds of no effect.

(67) "The Word changes not before Me, and I do not the least injustice to My Servants."

(68) (He is) Lord of the two easts and Lord of the two Wests:

(69) Secret counsels are only (inspired) by the Evil One, in order that he may cause grief to the Believers; but he cannot harm them in the least, except as Allah permits; and on Allah let the Believers put their trust.

(70) Is it that ye are afraid of spending sums in charity before your private consultation (with him)? If, then, ye do not so, and Allah forgives you, then (at least) establish regular prayer; practise regular charity; and obey Allah and His Messenger. And Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.
