I have an idea. I'm not really sure, if this can be the reason, and I
haven't tested it yet. But can this probably be an issue with the
keymap?

Hussam, do you have keymap in the HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf? Maybe
you could try to remove it and enter the passphrase with the standard
us keymap. You should of course write down the correct keys you have
to press, if you don't use a US keyboard.
