I was not speaking about ligatures like lan+alef. But really about the
contextual forms chosen from base letters (and independantly of the
diacritics applied to them, except for a few of them that use
different shapes in some combinations for these contextual joining

A test table for all Arabic characters that have defined joining types
(and most characters that are not joining) can be seen on this page:

This table is sorted by joining type, then by joining group.

A similar problem of showing non-joining, isolated Arabic glyphs
can be seen in the attached file. Both Internet Explorer 8 and
MS Word 2010
I am testing it in the latest version of chrome, which was release
long after the latest Unicode addition to the Arabic letters (notably
the last update of Arabic joining types in the UCD). So may be it's
the internal engine used in Chrome that still does not support these
mandatory joining types.
This is smart... provided that fonts also map the ZWJ (not all Arabic
fonts map it, they often map only ZWNJ to disable joinings, assuming
that there's no reason to force the joining in normal texts; some
Arabic fonts do not even map ZWNJ as well).
Some Arabic fonts do not even map the joining
