Emacs' Arabic keyboard is based on a patch I proposed, which in turn is
based on typing the relevant keys with the X11 keyboard set to the Arabic
keyboard from xkeyboard-config.  The mapping of U+FEFB, U+FEF9, U+FEF7
and U+FEF5 to the strings "لا", "لإ", "لأ", "لآ" (I hope those pasted
correctly) come from a patch to libX11's utf-8 Compose file which I pushed
and which was written and submitted by Khaled Hosny, who has been quite
active
