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

However, I also cannot read Arabic (nor other languages written in
arabic script), so can't much help to figure out what it is.

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:
