Kamal,
I'm using Tex Live 2013 on Ubuntu 14.04 and your file works
perfectly. All the letters are properly connected.

Normally any letter that gets joined to the next letter in a word does so
whether or not it bears a diacritic. But Tex Live 2013 on SUSE Linux is
causing such a letter to be printed in its independent rather than connected
form when there is a diacritic on it. This is my first attempt to use xetex
on a Linux machine to process a document in the Arabic script. I have never
seen such an error on Windows or MacOS.
If this forum is not the right place to report the problem, perhaps some
member can kindly direct me to the proper place. An example is the following:
=========
%xelatex
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{fontspec,bidi}
\newfontfamily\a[Script=Arabic]{Amiri}
\begin{document}
\setRTL
\a
قلم قَلَم قلَم قندیل قِندِیل قلوب قُلُوب قُلوب
\end{document}
========
The TeX output is equivalent to:
========
قلم قَ لَ م قلَ م قندیل قِ ندِیل قلوب قُ لُ وب قُ لوب
========
