Introduction
The modern way for representing text characters is unicode (contrary to the old charsets),most modern programming languages and database systems support Unicode natively now
Sticking to the standard is the best practice to maintain portability and continuous improvement. So using the Unicode category is better than using manual function
Each unicode character is assigned a category, the arabic tashkeel characters are defined in ‘Mark, Nonspacing’ category ‘Mn’
Update:
A better way would be to leave only the letter, other {Lo} category which contains the basic arabic language
Also leave spaces, tabs and newlines
[^\p{Lo}\p{Z}\n]
Arabic characters in the Mark,Nonspacing</span>

Note about unicode representation (why normalization is not applicable)
The above shows that the unicode doesn’t have combined characters for Arabic language,had it done this searching could have been easier using the standard normalization and canonical character equivlance.
So for now (أَ) alef with fatha is considered two characters ,as a result if searching with ignoring tashkeel is required tashkeel needs to be removed using method other than normalization.
I don’t know for now why was this design choice made in the unicode standard
Java Regex handling

The pattern to find Mark,Nonspacing category is “\p{Mn}” (for java the backslash needs to be escaped inside the string quotation “\p{Mn}” )
