The situation is that this works if you make some changes in your
system.

Specifically, 
1. Type 
sudo gedit /etc/environment
2. Add a line
GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
3. Save and restart your computer.

Now you should be able to type proper Arabic for those characters.

The proper solution would be not to have to perform the above process.
