replacing \if at rl with \if at RTL fixes the issue:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\def\datearabic{%
 \def\today{%
  \if at hijrical%
    \Hijritoday[\@hijri at correction]%
  \else%
    \if at RTL%
       \arabicnumber\day\space\@@arabic at month{\month}%
        \space\arabicnumber\year%
    \else% in LR environment we format the gregorian date within
\textenglish
       \ifcsdef{english at loaded}{\textenglish{\today}}%else US format
       {\normalfontlatin\ifcase\month\or January\or February\or March\or
