The Lebanese dialect of Arabic is not related to Farsi. Farsi is an Indo-European language and Arabic is a Semitic language.
Languages that are similar to Farsi include Dari and Tajik, which are both Persian languages and largely mutually intelligible with Farsi. Additionally, languages such as Urdu and Kurdish may share some similarities in vocabulary and grammatical structures with Farsi.
Farsi is the official language of Iran and belongs to the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European languages, while Arabic is the official language of many countries in the Middle East and North Africa and belongs to the Semitic branch of languages. Farsi is written in the Persian script, whereas Arabic is written in the Arabic script.
Farsi and Arabic
No. Farsi is the Arabic and Persian word for Persian. Arabic & Persian are not the same language, in fact, Persian is grammatically much closer to English than it is to Arabic. The confusion stems from the fact that Farsi is written in Arabic letters, but similarly Polish and Tagalog are written in Roman Letters (like English), but that says nothing as to the linguistic similarity of those languages.
No. Turkish is an Altaic Language. Kurdish is an Indo-European Language. Kurdish is much closer to Farsi (the language of Iran) than Arabic or Turkish.

Answer: none of the above. The original Aryans spoke several Indo-Iranian languages which are the ancestors of Farsi, Urdu, Hindi, and similar languages.

No, there is not. Iraqi Arabic is a dialect of Arabic similar to Saudi Arabic, while the language spoken in Iran is called either Farsi or Persian. Arabic is part of the Semitic language family, Persian is part of the Indo-European language family--so the two are actually not related at all. Iran uses the Arabic script for religious reasons.
Arabic is more commonly spoken than Farsi. Arabic is the official language of 22 countries in the Arab world and is widely spoken in many more, while Farsi is primarily spoken in Iran and some regions in Afghanistan and Tajikistan.
