I agree that westerners owe a debt to the Arabs for their astronomical knowledge, but the VMS text doesn't really have anything in common with Arabic script.
The "9" shape might be superficially similar to Arabic "q" but this shape is found in many alphabets, just as P and o shapes are found in many alphabets.
In the VMS, the "9" shape is positioned the same way it is positioned in texts that use Latin characters. It does not follow the positional patterns of Arabic script.
