The TECkit mapping files comes with arabxetex package
perform necessary conversions, hence there is no need
to implement inefficient macro level bloats.

\usepackage{arabxetex}
\newfontfamily\arabicfont[Script=Arabic]{Scheherazade}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\textfarsi{\the\c at page}}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\textfarsi{\the\c at section}}
\renewcommand{\thepart}{\textfarsi{\the\c at part}}
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\textfarsi{\c at footnote}}
\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{\textfarsi{\theenumi}}

etc. should be sufficient.
