The word(s) "near" appears 73 time(s) in 72 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

(41) "And I seek refuge with Thee O my Lord! lest they should come near me."

(42) He said: "Yea, (and more),- for ye shall in that case be (raised to posts) nearest (to my person)."

(43) "To the righteous, the Garden will be brought near,

(44) "And corn-fields and date-palms with spathes near breaking (with the weight of fruit)?

(45) And admonish thy nearest kinsmen,

(46) "Now do thou throw thy rod!" but when he saw it moving (of its own accord) as if it had been a snake, he turned back in retreat, and retraced not his steps: O Moses!" (It was said), "Draw near, and fear not: for thou art of those who are secure.

(47) It is not your wealth nor your sons, that will bring you nearer to Us in degree: but only those who believe and work righteousness - these are the ones for whom there is a multiplied Reward for their deeds, while secure they (reside) in the dwellings on high!

(48) Say: "If I am astray, I only stray to the loss of my own soul: but if I receive guidance, it is because of the inspiration of my Lord to me: it is He Who hears all things, and is (ever) near."

(49) If thou couldst but see when they will quake with terror; but then there will be no escape (for them), and they will be seized from a position (quite) near.

(50) Nor can a bearer of burdens bear another's burdens if one heavily laden should call another to (bear) his load. Not the least portion of it can be carried (by the other). Even though he be nearly related. Thou canst but admonish such as fear their Lord unseen and establish regular Prayer. And whoever purifies himself does so for the benefit of his own soul; and the destination (of all) is to Allah.
