You can use the simplefonts module to set different fonts for your main text
and the arabic parts:
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[TeX Gyre Pagella]
\setmainfontfallback[Arabic Typesetting Sample][features=arabic,range=arabic]
\starttext
\setupdirections[bidi=on]
\input knuth\par
عقل
\stoptext
