> ArabXeTeX provides a convenient ArabTeX-like user-interface for 
> typesetting languages using the Arabic script in XeLaTeX, with flexible 
> access to font features. Input in ArabTeX notation can be set in three 
> different vocalization modes or in roman transliteration. Direct UTF-8 
> input is also supported.  The parsing and converting of ArabTeX input to 
> Unicode is done by means of TECkit mappings. Version 1.0 provides support 
> for Arabic, Maghribi Arabic, Farsi (Persian), Urdu, Sindhi, Kashmiri, 
> Ottoman Turkish, Kurdish, Jawi (Malay) and Uighur.  The documentation (not 
> yet complete) covers topics such as typesetting the Holy Quran, 
> typesetting bidirectional critical editions (with ednotes), and 
> information on various recommended OpenType fonts for the Arabic script 
> and for transliterating Oriental languages.
