Page Layout ⇒ Change chapter numbers to words in Arabic

[ali8]

Instead of "Chapter 1" I want "Chapter one", but in Arabic.
one => الأول and so on.

In english, a solution exist:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{fmtcount,etoolbox}
    \makeatletter
    \patchcmd{\@makechapterhead}{\thechapter}{\Numberstring{chapter}}{}{}
    \patchcmd{\chaptermark}{\thechapter}{\NUMBERstring{chapter}}{}{}
    \makeatother

But what about Arabic? MWE:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,english]{book}
    \usepackage{fancyhdr}
    \usepackage{polyglossia}
    \setmainlanguage[numerals=maghrib]{arabic}
    \setotherlanguage{english}
    \newfontfamily\arabicfont[Script=Arabic,Scale=1.5]{Arabic Typesetting}
    \pagestyle{fancy}
    
    \begin{document}
    \selectlanguage{arabic}
    \chapter{مقدمة}
    
    \end{document}

You can add this macro in the preamble of your file. This gives the litteral numbering of chapters when you are in arabic environments

Code: Select all

%%%%%%%%%   MACRO Litteral Numbering of chapters in arabic language  %%%%%%%%

\newcommand\words[1]{\expandafter\xwords\csname c@#1\endcsname}
\def\xwords#1{\ifcase#1\or
الأول\or
الثاني\or
الثالث\or
الرابع\or
الخامس\or
السادس\or
السابع\or
الثامن\or
التاسع\or
العاشر\or
\else
I need more words\fi}
%%% You can add by the same if there is more then ten chapters

% \usepackage{etoolbox} %% uncomment if 'etoolbox' isn't already being loaded
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\@makechapterhead}{\thechapter}{\words{chapter}}{}{}
\makeatother
%%%%%%%%%  END MACRO Litteral Numbering of chapters %%%%%%%%%%

How can we do the same for Book Parts to be

القسم الأول
instead of
القسم I or القسم II

I tried this but it did not work.

Code: Select all

\patchcmd{\@makeparthead}{\thepart}{\words{part}}{}{}
