My Arabic text appears fine inside the ".tex" file since i set the I set the encoding into "UTF-8" format, but the moment I run the ".tex" file to produce the ".pdf" file the Arabic text is missing.

It sounds to me as if you have set your word-processor input to accept 
UTF-8, but have not included any UTF-8 capabilities in your TeX or LaTeX 
package.  Do you even have a Unicode font(set)  suitable for DVI or 
PDFTeX output?
