A transliteration of the Koran can be found at :-
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/transliteration/
The text looks like this -
1. Bismi Allahi alrrahmani alrraheemi
2. Alhamdu lillahi rabbi alAAalameena
3. Alrrahmani alrraheemi
4. Maliki yawmi alddeeni
5. Iyyaka naAAbudu wa-iyyaka nastaAAeenu
6. Ihdina alssirata almustaqeema
7. Sirata allatheena anAAamta AAalayhim ghayri almaghdoobi AAalayhim wala
alddalleena
You'd need to do some cutting and pasting, because the book is split
into short verses, but this should serve your purposes. Good luck!.
By the way - in case you didn't know this - if you are thinking of
running tests on such a text with the vowels removed be careful! I
think that some of the glottals (technically consonants) are
represented with vowels in this system.
Good luck,
Rob

Can anyone suggest a source of Arabic text on the 'net for use in
entropy calculations?
Ideally, I would like to find fully-vowelled text in some
character-based encoding (i.e. not GIFs).
