Araby should absolutely have gunpowder. Guns are a distinguishing feature of Warhammer as a fantasy setting: most other settings people know of don't have them, aside from the very notable warcraft.
It'd be a waste of potential to not give them guns, you'd end up with a fantasy middle-east faction that could exist in any other pretend world.
I think the Empire has had gunpowder since around 2000IC (~300 before TOW) because they're available in Mordheim which is set then, but there's contradictory lore. So even if the Empire got a leg up in gunpowder technology due to contact with Dwarves, Araby would have had plenty of time to learn via trade.
Anyway, you don't call them Janissaries you call the elite professional slave soldiers Mamlukes. Janissaries don't have much of a real distinguishing feature from Mamlukes aside from stupid hats and inviting roach obsession.
