use

NSString *ayah = @"La> ila>ha illAlla>hu wah}dahu> la> shari>ka lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul h}amdu, wa huwa ‘ala> kulli shai’in kadir.";

ayah = [ayah stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@">"                                     
                                       withString:@""];

ayah = [ayah stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"}"
                                       withString:@""];

sir actually these(">" or "}") character are used to make their look different when Times New Arabic font is applied,but after applying this font no change in font occurs. – Mehmood Hassan May 06 '13 at 08:10
does iphone support "Times New Arabic font" ? – Ahmed Z. May 06 '13 at 09:35
when other fonts are applicapable then "Times New Arabic" would also have to be applicable in same manner as others. – Mehmood Hassan May 07 '13 at 05:17
i think u should check first that does iphone support Times New Arabic or not. – Ahmed Z. May 07 '13 at 05:19

@MehmoodHassan Try adding a font yourself to your app. One you know would support this transliteration. (It shouldn't be hard to find on google or StackOverflow how to add a custom font to an iOS app) – Moxy May 07 '13 at 07:59
