The word(s) "how" appears 214 time(s) in 201 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(161) Have they not then journeyed in the land and seen how was the end of those before them: Allah brought down destruction upon them, and the unbelievers shall have the like of it.

(162) And how many a town which was far more powerful than the town of yours which has driven you out: We destroyed them so there was no helper for them.

(163) Do they then wait for aught but the hour that it should come to them all of a sudden? Now indeed the tokens of it have (already) come, but how shall they have their reminder when it comes on them?

(164) But how will it be when the angels cause them to die smiting their backs.

(165) Certainly Allah had shown to His Apostle the vision with truth: you shall most certainly enter the Sacred Mosque, if Allah pleases, in security, (some) having their heads shaved and (others) having their hair cut, you shall not fear, but He knows what you do not know, so He brought about a near victory before that.

(166) Do they not then look up to heaven above them how We have made it and adorned it and it has no gaps?

(167) And how many a generation did We destroy before them who were mightier in prowess than they, so they went about and about in the lands. Is there a place of refuge?

(168) And the earth, We have made it a wide extent; how well have We then spread (it) out.

(169) And how many an angel is there in the heavens whose intercession does not avail at all except after Allah has given permission to whom He pleases and chooses.

(170) how (great) was then My punishment and My warning!
