MS Word for Mac has never supported persian/arabic/urdu (even after 14 years now). So you have to use another app. Mellel is best, but TextEdit, Pages 5 (not Pages 09), Nisus Writer, Open/LibreOffice should all work OK.

can i trust it to keep my data safe forever ?


You will have to ask the people who make it. Nothing to do with Apple.


I don't think anyone is going to understand what you mean by "keep my data safe forever". Nothing is "forever," and "safe" can have a lot of different meanings.
