Some packages have to be included in the preamble to support it, as shown below.

This topic was really interesting to me because I used Arabic script a lot during my bachelor's and master's degree in medieval/classical arabic linguistics and literature. I always used MS Word or similar programs to write documents in arabic, but never thought about taking LaTex for it. I tried this out and it worked well.
