This is actually a trap that InDesign falls into when applying Ligatures. See, InDesign swap الـملا with الملا so the text will look more appealing. You can either turn off Ligatures from the Character panel fly-out menu or, adjust the position of tashkeel from the "Diacritic Positioning" panel.

The Diacritic positioning panel can be found here Window > Type > Diacritic Positioning where you have the chance to move tashkel horizontally or vertically.

I don't speak Arabic at all, but did you check if the problem occurs if you use this font in other softwares?  You should contact the font designer, and I don't think that it can be fixed in InDesign (but I am not 100% sure since I do not use the ME version).

So, it confirms that the problem is in the font itself. Contact the designer if you can.
