مَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ اَنۡ يُّؤۡتِيَهُ اللّٰهُ الۡكِتٰبَ وَالۡحُكۡمَ وَالنُّبُوَّةَ ثُمَّ يَقُوۡلَ لِلنَّاسِ كُوۡنُوۡا عِبَادًا لِّىۡ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ وَلٰـكِنۡ كُوۡنُوۡا رَبَّانِيّٖنَ بِمَا كُنۡتُمۡ تُعَلِّمُوۡنَ الۡكِتٰبَ وَبِمَا كُنۡتُمۡ تَدۡرُسُوۡنَۙ‏

Maa-kaa-na-lay-ba-sha-rin-un-yoe-tee-hool-laa-hool                                                                  Kay-taa-ba-wul-hook-ma-wun-na-boo-wa-ta                                                                        Thoom-ma-ya-qoo-lo-lin-naa-say                                                                                                    Koo-noo-ebaa-un-lee-min-doo-nil-laa-hay                                                                               Wa-laa-kin-koo-noo-rub-baa-nee-na                                                                                                Bay-maa-koon-toom-to-ul-lay-moo-nul-kay-taa-ba-wa                                                              Bay-maa-koon-toom-tud-ro-soo-n

It never is appropriate for any man that Allah grants him                                           The Book, the Judgment and the Prophethood                                                               Then he says to the people, “Be subservient to me instead of Allah.”                      Instead they exhort you to be devotees                                                                                Because you have been knowing the Book and                                                            Because you have been giving lessons in it.
