\end{abstract} conflicts with arabtext package

Question

I am using elsarticle

Everything was find before I used \usepackage{arabtext}.

When I compiled to PDF, I got the following error message.

And if I type "s", everything became fine again but I don't want to type an "s" every time I compile PDF preview.

Please anyone advise.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Here is the code

\documentclass[12pt, authoryear]{elsarticle}    % use "amsart" instead of "article" for AMSLaTeX format
\usepackage[colorlinks=true,linkcolor=black, citecolor=blue, urlcolor=blue]{hyperref}
\usepackage{geometry}                       % See geometry.pdf to learn the layout options. There are lots.
\geometry{a4paper}                          % ... or a4paper or a5paper or ... 
%\geometry{landscape}                       % Activate for rotated page geometry
%\usepackage[parfill]{parskip}          % Activate to begin paragraphs with an empty line rather than an indent
\usepackage{graphicx}               % Use pdf, png, jpg, or epsÂ§ with pdflatex; use eps in DVI mode
                            % TeX will automatically convert eps --> pdf in pdflatex        
\usepackage{amssymb}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{tipa}
\usepackage{arabtex}

@FaisalMustafa, if it is really very simple code,, please copy it into your question. Many of people here (including me) is not willing to do this instead of you. — Zarko, Mar 19 '16 at 20:58

The arabtex package (precisely, asect.sty) does a redefinition of the \endabstract command, assuming it should be the same as in the standard classe article.

You can easily restore the definition of elsarticle by adding

\def\endabstract{\egroup}

after loading arabtex.

\usepackage[colorlinks=true,linkcolor=black, citecolor=blue, urlcolor=blue]{hyperref}

\geometry{a4paper}                          % ... or a4paper or a5paper or ...

\usepackage{graphicx}               % Use pdf, png, jpg, or epsÂ§ with pdflatex; use eps in DVI mode
