I have created a document with contains  german  and Arabic invironments and the use of fancyhdr with \pagestyle{fancy} and the definition of the headers in the document does not change the pagestyle at all, it still displays the pagestyle plain.

Howdy,

Set \pagestyle{fancy} AFTER setting up the contents of the fancy head:

\fancyhead{}
\fancyhead[CO,CE]{\footnotesize\textsc{Die \Alif Azhar\={\i}yah}}
\fancyhead[RO,LE]{\thepage}
\fancyfoot{}
\pagestyle{fancy}

Good Luck,
