Notice that the earlier version looks smaller, but nevertheless has a more complete coverage of some rare characters and only one character failed to render properly. SF Arabic is here to demonstrate how the letters are supposed to look like; available to Apple users and has a complete Arabic coverage. [5]
For this demonstration to succeed, you need to install both fonts or import them from the web. Scheherazade is already a Wikimedia font, while Scheherazade New is available on Google Fonts.
