Howdy,
Sorry, I forgot to uncomment the \usepackage{perpage} and that gave an error message. However, If I moved the perpage package after the font commands it seems to work fine.
%%!TEX TS-program = xelatexmk
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,twoside]{article}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{arabic}
\newfontfamily\arabicfont{Geeza Pro}
\usepackage{perpage}
\begin{document}
جاء زيد إلى عمرو
\end{document}
(I don't have Scheherazade so I am using Geeza Pro on my Mac.)
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz
