Salam Naveed, it is obvious that Al Qalam font is not well supported in modern OS and/or Adobe applications. The developer of this font [jazah Allah Khair] did a good job, but apparently didn't test it on all software nor updated it.

I advise you of buying a Mus-hafi font from a reputable vendor that can give you proper support.

Note. I tested the font on Mac OS Big Sur, Photoshop 2021, InDesign 2021, Illustrator 2021, the result was alright with the basic test of the sentence السلام عليكم but the diacritics were pushed far up just like in your screenshots.
