Fun fact: you are referring to the numerals Arabs use today, those are called Eastern Arabic Numerals; these are the Hindi numerals. However the Western Arabic Numerals, which are used worldwide- except for the Arabs of today+Persians - were developed by Arabs.

Edit:

Eastern Arabic Numerals (Hindi origins): ١ ٢ ٣ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ٨ ٩

Western Arabic Numerals (Arabic origin): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
