AFAIK, the latest ADE version still doesn't support Arabic. However, it's possible to display Arabic text (without vowel signs) with ADE, if you're willing to jump through some hoops.
1. You'll obviously need to embed an Arabic font
2. You'll need to manually generate the Arabic context forms.
3. You'll need to reverse the order of the preshaped Arabic letters.
(The last two steps can be accomplished with this
free tool.)
Since all of this is a major PITA, it's only practical for very short quotes, but it can be done.
Please find attached an excerpt from a German book available at MR that demonstrates this technique.
