The word(s) "ya" appears 56 time(s) in 46 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(11) And Zakariya and yahya and Isa and Ilyas; every one was of the good;

(12) And Ismail and Al-yasha and Yunus and Lut; and every one We made to excel (in) the worlds:

(13) And to Madyan (We sent) their brother Shu'aib. He said: O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him; clear proof indeed has come to you from your Lord, therefore give full measure and weight and do not diminish to men their things, and do not make mischief in the land after its reform; this is better for you if you are believers:

(14) Has not the news of those before them come to them; of the people of Nuh and Ad and Samood, and the people of Ibrahim and the dwellers of Madyan and the overthrown cities; their apostles came to them with clear arguments; so it was not Allah Who should do them injustice, but they were unjust to themselves.

(15) And his wife was standing (by), so she laughed, then We gave her the good news of Ishaq and after Ishaq of (a son's son) yaqoub.

(16) And to Madyan (We sent) their brother Shu'aib. He said: O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than He, and do not give short measure and weight: surely I see you in prosperity and surely I fear for you the punishment of an all-encompassing day.

(17) As though they had never dwelt in them; now surely perdition overtook Madyan as had perished Samood.

(18) And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of sayings and make His favor complete to you and to the children of yaqoub, as He made it complete before to your fathers, Ibrahim and Ishaq; surely your Lord is Knowing, Wise.

(19) And I follow the religion of my fathers, Ibrahim and Ishaq and yaqoub; it beseems us not that we should associate aught with Allah; this is by Allah's grace upon us and on mankind, but most people do not give thanks:

(20) And when they had entered as their father had bidden them, it did not avail them aught against Allah, but (it was only) a desire in the soul of yaqoub which he satisfied; and surely he was possessed of knowledge because We had given him knowledge, but most people do not know.
