The word(s) "father" appears 118 time(s) in 104 verse(s) in Quran in Yusuf Ali translation (1) Were ye witnesses when death appeared before Jacob? Behold, he said to his sons: "What will ye worship after me?" They said: "We shall worship Thy Allah and the Allah of thy fathers, of Abraham, Isma'il and Isaac,- the one (True) Allah. To Him we bow (in Islam)." ( سورة البقرة , Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #133) (2) When it is said to them: "Follow what Allah hath revealed:" They say: "Nay! we shall follow the ways of our fathers." What! even though their fathers Were void of wisdom and guidance? ( سورة البقرة , Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #170) (3) So when ye have accomplished your holy rites, celebrate the praises of Allah, as ye used to celebrate the praises of your fathers,- yea, with far more Heart and soul. There are men who say: "Our Lord! Give us (Thy bounties) in this world!" but they will have no portion in the Hereafter. ( سورة البقرة , Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #200) (4) The mothers shall give suck to their offspring for two whole years, if the father desires to complete the term. But he shall bear the cost of their food and clothing on equitable terms. No soul shall have a burden laid on it greater than it can bear. No mother shall be Treated unfairly on account of her child. Nor father on account of his child, an heir shall be chargeable in the same way. If they both decide on weaning, by mutual consent, and after due consultation, there is no blame on them. If ye decide on a foster-mother for your offspring, there is no blame on you, provided ye pay (the mother) what ye offered, on equitable terms. But fear Allah and know that Allah sees well what ye do. ( سورة البقرة , Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #233) (5) And marry not women whom your fathers married,- except what is past: It was shameful and odious,- an abominable custom indeed. ( سورة النساء , An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #22) (6) Prohibited to you (For marriage) are:- Your mothers, daughters, sisters; father's sisters, Mother's sisters; brother's daughters, sister's daughters; foster-mothers (Who gave you suck), foster-sisters; your wives' mothers; your step-daughters under your guardianship, born of your wives to whom ye have gone in,- no prohibition if ye have not gone in;- (Those who have been) wives of your sons proceeding from your loins; and two sisters in wedlock at one and the same time, except for what is past; for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful;- ( سورة النساء , An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #23) (7) When it is said to them: "Come to what Allah hath revealed; come to the Messenger.: They say: "Enough for us are the ways we found our fathers following." what! even though their fathers were void of knowledge and guidance? ( سورة المائدة , Al-Maeda, Chapter #5, Verse #104) (8) Lo! Abraham said to his father Azar: "Takest thou idols for gods? For I see thee and thy people in manifest error." ( سورة الأنعام , Al-Anaam, Chapter #6, Verse #74) (9) (To them) and to their fathers, and progeny and brethren: We chose them, and we guided them to a straight way. ( سورة الأنعام , Al-Anaam, Chapter #6, Verse #87) (10) No just estimate of Allah do they make when they say: "Nothing doth Allah send down to man (by way of revelation)" Say: "Who then sent down the Book which Moses brought?- a light and guidance to man: But ye make it into (separate) sheets for show, while ye conceal much (of its contents): therein were ye taught that which ye knew not- neither ye nor your fathers." Say: "(Allah) (sent it down)": Then leave them to plunge in vain discourse and trifling. ( سورة الأنعام , Al-Anaam, Chapter #6, Verse #91) (11) Those who give partners (to Allah) will say: "If Allah had wished, we should not have given partners to Him nor would our fathers; nor should we have had any taboos." So did their ancestors argue falsely, until they tasted of Our wrath. Say: "Have ye any (certain) knowledge? If so, produce it before us. Ye follow nothing but conjecture: ye do nothing but lie." ( سورة الأنعام , Al-Anaam, Chapter #6, Verse #148) (12) When they do aught that is shameful, they say: "We found our fathers doing so"; and "(Allah) commanded us thus": Say: "Nay, Allah never commands what is shameful: do ye say of Allah what ye know not?" ( سورة الأعراف , Al-Araf, Chapter #7, Verse #28) (13) They said: "Comest thou to us, that we may worship Allah alone, and give up the cult of our fathers? bring us what thou threatenest us with, if so be that thou tellest the truth!" ( سورة الأعراف , Al-Araf, Chapter #7, Verse #70) (14) He said: "Punishment and wrath have already come upon you from your Lord: dispute ye with me over names which ye have devised - ye and your fathers,- without authority from Allah. then wait: I am amongst you, also waiting." ( سورة الأعراف , Al-Araf, Chapter #7, Verse #71) (15) Then We changed their suffering into prosperity, until they grew and multiplied, and began to say: "Our fathers (too) were touched by suffering and affluence" ...

( سورة الأعراف , Al-Araf, Chapter #7, Verse #173) (17) O ye who believe! take not for protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity above Faith: if any of you do so, they do wrong. ( سورة التوبة , At-Taubah, Chapter #9, Verse #23) (18) Say: If it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth that ye have gained; the commerce in which ye fear a decline: or the dwellings in which ye delight - are dearer to you than Allah, or His Messenger, or the striving in His cause;- then wait until Allah brings about His decision: and Allah guides not the rebellious. ( سورة التوبة , At-Taubah, Chapter #9, Verse #24) (19) And Abraham prayed for his father's forgiveness only because of a promise he had made to him. But when it became clear to him that he was an enemy to Allah, he dissociated himself from him: for Abraham was most tender-hearted, forbearing. ( سورة التوبة , At-Taubah, Chapter #9, Verse #114) (20) They said: "Hast thou come to us to turn us away from the ways we found our fathers following,- in order that thou and thy brother may have greatness in the land? But not we shall believe in you!" ( سورة يونس , Yunus, Chapter #10, Verse #78) (21) They said: "O Salih! thou hast been of us! a centre of our hopes hitherto! dost thou (now) forbid us the worship of what our fathers worshipped? But we are really in suspicious (disquieting) doubt as to that to which thou invitest us." ( سورة هود , Hud, Chapter #11, Verse #62) (22) They said: "O Shu'aib! Does thy (religion of) prayer command thee that we leave off the worship which our fathers practised, or that we leave off doing what we like with our property? truly, thou art the one that forbeareth with faults and is right- minded!" ( سورة هود , Hud, Chapter #11, Verse #87) (23) Be not then in doubt as to what these men worship. They worship nothing but what their fathers worshipped before (them): but verily We shall pay them back (in full) their portion without (the least) abatement.

( سورة يوسف , Yusuf, Chapter #12, Verse #4) (25) Said (the father): "My (dear) little son! relate not thy vision to thy brothers, lest they concoct a plot against thee: for Satan is to man an avowed enemy! ( سورة يوسف , Yusuf, Chapter #12, Verse #5) (26) "Thus will thy Lord choose thee and teach thee the interpretation of stories (and events) and perfect His favour to thee and to the posterity of Jacob - even as He perfected it to thy fathers Abraham and Isaac aforetime! for Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom." ( سورة يوسف , Yusuf, Chapter #12, Verse #6) (27) They said: "Truly Joseph and his brother are loved more by our father than we: But we are a goodly body! really our father is obviously wandering (in his mind)! ( سورة يوسف , Yusuf, Chapter #12, Verse #8) (28) "Slay ye Joseph or cast him out to some (unknown) land, that so the favour of your father may be given to you alone: (there will be time enough) for you to be righteous after that!" ( سورة يوسف , Yusuf, Chapter #12, Verse #9) (29) They said: "O our father! why dost thou not trust us with Joseph,- seeing we are indeed his sincere well-wishers? ( سورة يوسف , Yusuf, Chapter #12, Verse #11) (30) Then they came to their father in the early part of the night, weeping. ( سورة يوسف , Yusuf, Chapter #12, Verse #16) (31) They said: "O our father! We went racing with one another, and left Joseph with our things; and the wolf devoured him.... But thou wilt never believe us even though we tell the truth." ( سورة يوسف , Yusuf, Chapter #12, Verse #17) (32) "And I follow the ways of my fathers,- Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and never could we attribute any partners whatever to Allah. that (comes) of the grace of Allah to us and to mankind: yet most men are not grateful. ( سورة يوسف , Yusuf, Chapter #12, Verse #38) (33) "If not Him, ye worship nothing but names which ye have named,- ye and your fathers,- for which Allah hath sent down no authority: the command is for none but Allah.

( سورة يوسف , Yusuf, Chapter #12, Verse #61) (36) Now when they returned to their father, they said: "O our father! No more measure of grain shall we get (unless we take our brother): So send our brother with us, that we may get our measure; and we will indeed take every care of him." ( سورة يوسف , Yusuf, Chapter #12, Verse #63) (37) Then when they opened their baggage, they found their stock-in-trade had been returned to them. They said: "O our father! What (more) can we desire? this our stock-in-trade has been returned to us: so we shall get (more) food for our family; We shall take care of our brother; and add (at the same time) a full camel's load (of grain to our provisions). This is but a small quantity. ( سورة يوسف , Yusuf, Chapter #12, Verse #65) (38) And when they entered in the manner their father had enjoined, it did not profit them in the least against (the plan of) Allah. It was but a necessity of Jacob's soul, which he discharged. For he was, by our instruction, full of knowledge (and experience): but most men know not. ( سورة يوسف , Yusuf, Chapter #12, Verse #68) (39) They said: "O exalted one! Behold! he has a father, aged and venerable, (who will grieve for him); so take one of us in his place; for we see that thou art (gracious) in doing good." ( سورة يوسف , Yusuf, Chapter #12, Verse #78) (40) Now when they saw no hope of his (yielding), they held a conference in private. The leader among them said: "Know ye not that your father did take an oath from you in Allah.s name, and how, before this, ye did fail in your duty with Joseph?

( سورة إبراهيم , Ibrahim, Chapter #14, Verse #10) (48) The worshippers of false gods say: "If Allah had so willed, we should not have worshipped aught but Him - neither we nor our fathers,- nor should we have prescribed prohibitions other than His." So did those who went before them. But what is the mission of apostles but to preach the Clear Message? ( سورة النحل , An-Nahl, Chapter #16, Verse #35) (49) No knowledge have they of such a thing, nor had their fathers. It is a grievous thing that issues from their mouths as a saying what they say is nothing but falsehood! ( سورة الكهف , Al-Kahf, Chapter #18, Verse #5) (50) "As for the wall, it belonged to two youths, orphans, in the Town; there was, beneath it, a buried treasure, to which they were entitled: their father had been a righteous man: So thy Lord desired that they should attain their age of full strength and get out their treasure - a mercy (and favour) from thy Lord.

( سورة مريم , Maryam, Chapter #19, Verse #45) (56) (The father) replied: "Dost thou hate my gods, O Abraham? If thou forbear not, I will indeed stone thee: Now get away from me for a good long while!" ( سورة مريم , Maryam, Chapter #19, Verse #46) (57) Nay, We gave the good things of this life to these men and their fathers until the period grew long for them; See they not that We gradually reduce the land (in their control) from its outlying borders? Is it then they who will win? ( سورة الأنبياء , Al-Anbiya, Chapter #21, Verse #44) (58) Behold! he said to his father and his people, "What are these images, to which ye are (so assiduously) devoted?" ( سورة الأنبياء , Al-Anbiya, Chapter #21, Verse #52) (59) They said, "We found our fathers worshipping them."
