Model Zara Abid Slut-Shamed On Social Media After Losing Life In Plane Crash

Pakistani model Zara Abid, who lost her life in the PIA plane crash, was at the receiving end of online abuse since the incident took place last week. Oddly enough, people have been very keen on deciding if she will find her way to heaven, as per the Islamic belief that anyone who loses their life without having any control over it, in the month of Ramzan, on a Friday. Or whether she will be punished because of the career choices she made.

Basically, the internet trolls did not take two days after her death and started slut-shaming her for her outfits and modelling career. Certain media outlets used a specific kind of photo to announce her demise. Yes, the ones that would get them more 'hits' and 'likes'.

Some were convinced that she will go to hell, based on one photo on her Instagram.

Some, on the internet, discounted her career by quoting a hadith that refers to a prostitute who was forgiven for providing water to a thirsty dog on a scorching hot day. So according to them, Zara would definitely go to heaven.

However, it has been heartening to see some soaring support for her, without any intention of judging her lifestyle.

However, people who actually knew Zara had some lovely things to share about her professionalism and humility. She has been a wonderful human to the ones around her and is deeply missed.
