I found out this problem happens when the user decides to get fancy and enters a string in the database that contains diacritical marks. After filtering out all the diacritical marks from the user-entered string -- before updating the tables in PostgreSQL -- the rendering becomes perfect, wa lillaah alhamd. I think the rendering will be fine with diacritical marks only if the last character is not a diacritical mark. If the last character is a diacritical mark, the letter before it and the mark (since an Arabic Unicode letter with a diacritical mark does not hold one value like some French and German letters, but two!) will be positioned at the beginning of the line. I decided to filter out all diacritical marks before updating and before sending the query string because I simply don't need them. So that solves my problem, but I think Konqueror and KHTMLPart shouldn't have such obstacles. Wishing you and your family peace and good health.
