I would say it helps when you define an appropriate roman font in the  
preamble. After adding this to your example, it looks almost fine here:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{book}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{arabxetex}
\setromanfont{Gentium}
\newfontfamily\arabicfont[Script=Arabic,
Scale=1.5]{Scheherazade}
\SetTranslitConvention{dmg}
\begin{document}
\begin{arab}[trans]
al-^say_h al-`Alim \UC na.sIr al-\UC dIn al-\UC .tUsI
\end{arab}
\end{document}

All my best,

Tilman
