Just as I was about to send this, I notice that Tilman Hanneman has 
already provided the same advice. I would add two more things: I achieve 
correct positioning of the line numbers by deactivating them after 
\end{arab} and reactivating them again just before \begin{arab}, as follows:

\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\resetlinenumber\pagewiselinenumbers % << as Tilman wrote ...
\begin{arab}
...
\end{arab}
\nolinenumbers % << temporarily switch off line numbering

%\vskip 2cm  << no longer needed I think
\begin{center}
\includegraphics{thaqil_ramal.pdf}
\end{center}
%\vskip 0.5cm << same

\linenumbers % << reactivate lineno
\begin{arab}
...
\end{arab}
\end{document}

Also, I notice that your document is based on my ednotes example file, 
in which \linenumberfont is redefined (see line 25 in your tex file):

  
\renewcommand{\linenumberfont}{\arabicfont\addfontfeature{Mapping=arabicdigits}\tiny}

But to judge from your pdf output, you don't seem to have the 
arabicdigits mapping available, since your line numbers are in "Western" 
digits. I include the map file for your convenience. You should compile 
it with
    teckit_compile arabicdigits.map
and move the resulting .tec file to fonts/misc/xetex/fontmapping/ in 
your local or home TEXMF directory.

Regards,
François
