Is It Easier To Learn Arabic if I Already Know Hindi And Urdu ?
Over the past 5 years i've been learning HIndi and Urdu 
NOw ... i'm thinking of Arabic, 
And I was wondering if my knowledge in HIndi and Urdu can help me learn Arab faster ??? 
And is there any similarity which i can use to my advantage ?

Answer

Well, I don't know too much about Hindi or Urdu, but I don't think that there are lots of similarities between them and Arabic. But what I know is that there are some borrowed words in Hindi and Urdu from Arabic I usually hear it in their movies. Besides Arabic and Urdu have the same Alphabets scripts but no similarities with neither grammars nor words' meanings.
I think Urdu and Farsi are quite closer to each other than to Arabic.

Answer

Simply , NOPE !

Answer

well, there are some words that are so close  to arabic in hindi .. for ex. कानून (Kanun)  in Hindi = law or rules ..  is pronounced the same in arabic  قانون (Qanon) .. having the same meaning.. so yes there is a slight closeness only in some pronounciations and meanings .. best of luck :)
