Find a font that has the glyph (Gentium, Linux Libertine, Times New Roman, Brill, etc.). The default Computer Modern version also works with fontspec.
Compile with xelatex or lualatex:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{fontspec}
setmainfont{Gentium}
begin{document}
Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī?
Yes, Mud{h}ammad ibn M={u}s={a} al-Khw={a}rizm={i}!
end{document}

You may be able to set up shortcuts in your editor if you're writing a lot of those diacritics.
If you want the same font as your example (Charis SIL):
setmainfont{Charis Sil}

What do you mean by ''The default Computer Modern version also works with fontspec''? I am compiling with xelatex and I am using the Latin Modern font but not using fontspec

Here it is:

Mud{h}ammad ibn M={u}s={a} al-Khw={a}rizm={i}

The last letter is a dotless i (produce by i) with bar above it.
