The Arabic language is "RTL(Right-to-left)" language, so I change the direction of GUIDE_ar.md file to RTL by contain each element inside div with dir="rtl" attribute

I’m pretty sure browsers will automatically interpret Arabic text as right-to-left, even without an explicit dir=rtl attribute.

According to my understanding actually, it's not because the default value of dir attribute is ltr even if the browser's language is set to Arabic, the browser will set the correct direction automatically if the default value of dir is auto see this example
