You have another choice run the following command to change via Keyboard (Shift+Alt)
setxkbmap -layout "us,ar" -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle" -option "grp_led:caps"

Hi Kamran and sorry for the late reply. Please what are you using as
your Desktop Environment?
Personnally, I don't use the same distribution as you so other people on
the list may be able to help on this. But on Debian/Ubuntu/Debian custom
distribution, what you need is:
* a UTF-8 locale ('dpkg-reconfigure locales' as root and choose a UTF-8
locale by default);
* an Arabic font (see the Arabeyes khotot project -- or the ttf-arabeyes
package on Debian);
* a keyboard layout management applet (there is one on Gnome and one on
KDE and they are really easy to use -- as in Windows, you click on it
with the right button to configure and the left button to switch the
layout).
Please let me know if it works.
