وَمَنْ يَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ لَا بُرْهَانَ لَهُ بِهِ فَإِنَّمَا حِسَابُهُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِ إِنَّهُ لَا يُفْلِحُ الْكَافِرُونَ

Be aware that the computer renders the font (Arabic) slightly differently in case of 'Shaddah'. Fatah/Zabr appears above Shadda while Kasrah/Zer appears below Shaddah and not the actual letter. You can download a very good arabic font from here.
