“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.” — Ayatollah Khomeini

A few years ago, Murtaza Ahmadi, 5, became an overnight viral star after pictures of him wearing an improvised Lionel Messi shirt made out of plastic were shared across social media.
Then in 2016, Murtaza Ahmadi travelled with his family from Taliban-infested eastern Ghazni province to Kabul to receive the gifts sent by Messi through UNICEF, where he is a goodwill ambassador.

Murtaza said he misses his home in Jaghori district of Ghazni province, according to Sky News Arabia. With tears in his eyes, he said that he misses his ball and jersey which were given to him by Messi, and were left behind in his home when the family flee to a safe place….
