A few suggestions if I may:

- the file should be called arabic-init.ly, like makam-init.ly.

- the example at the top of the file should be changed to use Italian
note names (and shouldn't set \dwn on a sharp note)

- it shouldn't mention version 2.10 since it adds a new feature to the
latest release

- for the custom accidental, there's a nicer slash (with rounded
edges) available in the form of the acciaccatura slash. Here's a new
version of \dwn which also gets rid of the 'text override using
grob-interpret-markup:

dwn = {
  \once \override Voice.Accidental #'stencil = #(lambda (grob)
   (ly:stencil-combine-at-edge
    (ly:accidental-interface::print grob) Y UP
    (grob-interpret-markup grob (markup #:line
          (#:fontsize -1 (#:musicglyph "flags.ugrace")))) -1.3 0))
}
