According to @tuv we need:

1. arabxetex package,
2. an arabic truetype font (Traditional Arabic is ideal, and seems to be available with a CC/attribution licence here: http://www.fontspace.com/afq/traditional-arabic)
3. produce the pdf using the xelatex command

And within document

\usepackage{arabxetex}
\newfontfamily\arabicfont[Script=Arabic, Scale=1.5]{Traditional Arabic}

Then enclose Arabic text in an {arab} environment
