The Holy Qor-aan 003:182
لَقَدۡ سَمِعَ اللّٰهُ قَوۡلَ الَّذِيۡنَ قَالُوۡۤا اِنَّ اللّٰهَ فَقِيۡرٌ وَّنَحۡنُ اَغۡنِيَآءُ ۘ سَنَكۡتُبُ مَا قَالُوۡا وَقَتۡلَهُمُ الۡاَنۡۢبِيَآءَ بِغَيۡرِ حَقٍّ ۙۚ وَّنَقُوۡلُ ذُوۡقُوۡا عَذَابَ الۡحَرِيۡقِ
La qaud sa-may-aa ul-laa-ho qao-lo ul-la-ze-na Qaa-loo in-na ul-laa-ha fa-qee-roon wa nauh-no augh-nay-yaa-o Sa-nauk-to-bo maa qaa-loo wa Qaut-la ho-mo ol-aun-bay-yaa-aa bay-ghai-ray huq-qin Wa na-qoo-lo zoo-qoo aa-zaa-ba ul-ha-ree-q
