If you do not observe prayer as you are ordered to
Then there will come a day when you will be prayed upon
You will then be unable to make up what you've missed
You shall then enter alone... 
No companions except your deeds
And what you have presented forward
Pray before you are prayed upon


Do not miss a prayer
Do not die a loser's death
Allah swt says in the Quran that prayer is prescribed upon the believers according to a precise timely record
O Allah, make us among those you described in your Book
Those who have khushoo' in their prayers
Those who are continually observing their prayers and are heedful of them!!!

MANUFACTURING OF FAKE EGGS!!!

In China there are  schools and classes that teach a variety of blatant technology, even eggs can be modulated by chemical materials, but also be able to fry cook, is currently the most popular False course.

Step 1 modulation of raw materials

Using 7 kinds of chemical materials, see pic below

Fake egg was made from calcium carbonate, starch, resin, gelatin, alum and other chemical products.

Step 2 egg production

Raw egg into the mold to 2 / 3 full, put calcium chloride, colouring die, the egg appears on the film been announced.

The 'yolk' is shaped in the round mould. 'Magic water' containing calcium chloride is used.

By adding a yellow pigment and become raw egg yolk.

Step 3 fake egg shape

In the mold into 1 / 3 raw egg white, like the first package, like dumplings into the egg yolk, egg white into another, into the magic water, a shell eggs will come slowly. Naked egg shape to 1 hour to dry after washing with water, at shells ready.



Step 4 Sewing lines through the use of eggs, immersed in paraffin wax, calcium carbonate, such as modulation of the eggshell into a solution, repeated several times until the shell a little dry, immersion in cold water pumping line shape, this point, the egg has been put on a false cloak , You're done.

Hard shells are formed by soaking in paraffin wax onto the egg, which are then left to dry.

Oh yeah The Egg is ready. The artificial egg shell is very fragile and break easily but who cares!!

Look so real

Many small bubbles is formed during frying the egg but not many people can tell the difference.

The egg look exactly the same, and the eggs taste better than real but you are adding to the
statistic of food poisoning person.

Why make fake eggs ?

Because of money.
The cost of fake egg is only 0.55 Yuan/kg, while the true eggs’ market price is 5.6 Yuan/kg.
