Born in a very well-known family of Morder village of Mulkhow in upepr Chitral in 1930, Mr Zainul Abedin served in Chitral Scouts and retired from it as Subedar. Later, he took part in politics and was elected as the member of the district council Chitral in 1979.

He lost the election to teh post of chairman district council Chitral by just one vote. In 1993, he was elected on the then single seat of the provincial assembly for Chitral on the ticket of the PPP. He also took active part in social services in Chitral and was considered to be the most respected and non-controversial political figure in the whole area.
