The word(s) "what" appears 1331 time(s) in 1076 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(541) And we do not descend but by the command of your Lord; to Him belongs whatever is before us and whatever is behind us and whatever is between these, and your Lord is not forgetful.

(542) The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, so serve Him and be patient in His service. Do you know any one equal to Him?

(543) And says man: what! when I am dead shall I truly be brought forth alive?

(544) Say: As for him who remains in error, the Beneficent Allah will surely prolong his length of days, until they see what they were threatened with, either the punishment or the hour; then they shall know who is in more evil plight and weaker in forces

(545) By no means! We write down what he says, and We will lengthen to him the length of the chastisement

(546) And We will inherit of him what he says, and he shall come to Us alone.

(547) His is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth and what is between them two and what is beneath the ground.

(548) And if you utter the saying aloud, then surely He knows the secret, and what is yet more hidden.

(549) And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed:

(550) And what is this in your right hand, O Musa!
