Asmar uploaded a photocopy of a letter in Arabic with the heading "Al-`ahrab", with what I at firt was a date, but as it says "Almand 50, 1355", it can't be a date on any calendar I'm aware of. It is a list with five numbered items, but as I don't know Arabic, I have no idea what they are.
Note another number at the bottom that looks like a Gregorian year: 1937, which is equivalent for part of the year to 1355 in the Islamic calendar.
However, I also cannot read Arabic (nor other languages written in arabic script), so can't much help to figure out what it is.
If someone uploads something in Arabic to Wikipedia, what, besides delete it, should I do?

The upload area is shared by all the Wikipedias, not just the English-language one; this could very well be an entirely reasonable example or illustration for the Arabic wiki.
Doubtful. The Arabic wiki is not what I'd call very active: http://ar.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?action=rc&days=90
