\definefont[arabic][file:bliblablup_0.ttf*arabic at 15pt]
\definefont[arabics][file:bliblablup_0.ttf*arabic at 15pt]
\definefontfeature[fakebold][extend=1.2]
\definefont[arabic][file:bliblablup_0.ttf*arabic,fakebold at 15pt]

\starttext
\arabic\setupalign[r2l]
ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ
\blank\arabics\setupalign[r2l]
ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ
\stoptext
