Making a book with Arabic script?

A question-

I want to make a little dua book as a favor. I was thinking i’ve done this using word, self published items BUT have never done one that used arabic script also.

Does anyone know of programs/websites i can cut and paste arabic dua/suras/etc from and then paste into word?

I’m willing to do the format work but wanted to just get the arabic portion…any ideas? Thanks!!

Oh they are beautiful! Thank you!

Can you tell me what the aya is that is in the first group? You have maybe 6-7 difft versions of it?

Re: Making a book with Arabic script?

Its believe its not an aya, rather a dua which translates to 'Ya rasool (SA) aap kay liyeh salaam aur salaat hoN'.
