Adulteration
Adulteration is basically addition or subtraction of substances which may affect the quality of a food product. The substance can be partially or wholly substituted in order to earn profits by the companies or small vendors. The main reason for adulteration could be unhygienic processing conditions or intentionally done for financial profits which eventually harm the heath of the purchaser and deteriorate the standards of product. Although many regulatory bodies have been setup which keep eye on this kind of act still it is your duty to check whether you are being fooled or not. Some of the simple tests are instructed below which you could do at home without any expensive or dangerous reagents.
1. To check milk adulterated with water- Milk is usually diluted with water so as to increase its quantity and earn profits. You could check this by pouring a drop of milk over a slant polished surface. If it flows immediately without leaving a mark this conclude that milk is adulterated with water as non adulterated milk will always leave a mark.
2. Presence of detergent in milk -Detergent is added to emulsify, give frothy solution appearance and give color to milk. You can examine by adding same amount of milk and water and shaking it. The appearance of lather indicates presence of detergents. Intake of detergents can lead to many stomach disorders.
3. Inspect iron in tea- magnets are most probably present in each household which could be used to check presence of iron in tea by drawing magnet over tea, placed over a piece of paper. Iron flakes if present will cling to the magnet. Producers do this to increase the quantity and fool the consumers. Although iron is required by human body but excess quantity can lead to various harmful effects.
4. To check adulterated cumin seeds- Grass seeds colored with charcoal dust are added in cumin seeds as it is a cheaper substitute. Rub the cumin seeds on palm and if palm turns black indicates that cumin seed is adulterated.
5. Examine adulterated chili powder- Brick powder or talc powder is added due to its low cost which has harmful effect on human stomach. This could be checked by adding chilies powder in water.

This Is Beautiful..
Once Moosa (AS) asked Allah Subhaana'O'Ta'ala:
O Allah! You have granted me the honor and privilege of talking to you directly, Have you given this privilege to any other person?
Allah Ta'ala replied, O!! Moosa during the last period I am going to send an Ummat, who will be the Ummat of Mohammed (SAW) with dry lips, parched tongues, emaciated body with eyes sunken deep into their sockets, with livers dry and stomachs suffering the pangs of hunger will call out to me (in dua) they will be much much closer to me than you O Moosa! while you speak to me there are 70000 veils between you and me but at the time of iftaar there will not be a single veil between me and the fasting Ummati of Mohammed (SAW) O!! Moosa I have taken upon myself the responsibility that at the time of iftaar I will never refuse the dua of a fasting person!
