وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ أَقَامُوا التَّوْرَاةَ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ لَأَكَلُوا مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِنْ تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِهِمْ
And if only they had upheld the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to them from their Lord, they would have consumed from above them and from beneath their feet.1 Among them are a moderate community, but many of them – evil is that which they do.

لَسْتُمْ عَلَىٰ شَيْءٍ حَتَّىٰ تُقِيمُوا التَّوْرَاةَ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ
Say, “O People of the Scripture, you are on nothing until you uphold the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord ” And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. So do not grieve over the disbelieving people.

(7:29:5) wa-aqīmū and set

(18:105:10) nuqīmu We will assign
فَحَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ فَلَا نُقِيمُ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَزْنًا
Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in meeting Him, so their deeds have become worthless; and We will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any weight

(30:30:1) fa-aqim So set
فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًا
So, direct yourself toward the religion, inclining to truth. the fiṭrah1 of Allah upon which He has created people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah.2 That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know.

(30:43:1) fa-aqim So set

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَ
Indeed, those who have said, “Our Lord is Allah” and then remained on a right course – the angels will descend upon them, “Do not fear and do not grieve but receive good tidings of Paradise, which you were promised.

(42:13:19) aqīmū establish
أَنْ أَقِيمُوا الدِّينَ وَلَا تَتَفَرَّقُوا فِيهِ
He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you, and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus – to establish the DEEN and not be divided therein. Difficult for those who associate others with Allah is that to which you invite them. Allah chooses for Himself whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back.

(42:15:3) wa-is’taqim and stand firm
فَلِذَٰلِكَ فَادْعُ وَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ

(46:13:7) is’taqāmū remain firm

(65:2:13) wa-aqīmū and establish

And when they have fulfilled their term, either retain them according to acceptable terms or part with them according to acceptable terms. And bring to witness two just men from among you and establish the testimony for Allah. That is instructed to whoever should believe in Allah and the Last Day. And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out

From these above verses where Allah commanded us by using the word
“Aqim” “فَأَقِمْ ”;

We find ” aqimus Salat “وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ” occurred almost 39 times.
And “aqim” followed by other words are as follows:
Aqimu taorah and Injil “أَقَامُوا التَّوْرَاةَ” Occurred 2 times
5:66; 5:68
Aqimu wazuhuHakum “وَأَقِيمُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ” Occurred 1 times
7:29;
Aqimu Deen “أَقِيمُوا الدِّينَ” or ”Aqimu Wazahaka Liddeeni أَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ” Occurred 4 times
10:105; 30:30; 30:43; 42:13;
Aqimu Wajna “وَأَقِيمُوا الْوَزْنَ” Occurred 1 time
55:9
Aqimu Shahada “ وَأَقِيمُوا الشَّهَادَةَ” Occurred 1 times
65:2;

So, besides Aqim Salah, we have to Aqim “Torah and Injeel”5:66,68; “Deen”; and “testimony/acceptance” Of Allah 65:2. And Allah will Aqim “الْوَزْنَ بِالْقِسْطِ” accurate measure with fairness 55:9.
