OverviewGreetings and welcome to my homepage! First of all, let me introduce myself. I have lived for about four years in Malaysia and currently living in Doha, Qatar. I have been roaming around Wikipedia looking for an article that requires editing since September 2009. In my free time, I will go to Wikipedia to read any random article and modify it where necessary. Most of the time I will be at Simple English Wikipedia to expand stub or sub-stub articles and adding redirects. My interest in Wikipedia began on August 2008 where I gradually depended on it to make some of my projects and researches. However it was not until a couple of months ago where I started to feel the need of helping Wikipedia in expanding its articles. Thanks, WikiProjectsI am currently active on Wikipedia:WikiProject Qatar mainly adding references and expanding stub articles. Feel free to join the WikiProjects to help it. Use this to do a quick recent changes patrol in this WikiProject. To do ListThis is my to do list, as I have problems in remembering on which articles I am working (or going to work) on.
Al-Hajj is the
22nd chapter (
surah) of the
Quran, describing the pilgrimage to
Mecca known as the
Hajj. This Chinese scroll in ink, watercolour and gold on paper was produced in the second half of the 19th century, contains the full text of the chapter in Arabic, and is now part of the
Khalili Collection of Hajj and the Arts of Pilgrimage. Almost five metres (16 feet) in length, the scroll's illustrations include a map entitled "Routes of the Hajj", a view of the
Great Wall of China, and views of Mecca and
Medina, as well as diagrammatic depictions of the stations of pilgrimage and Jerusalem, including the
Kaaba. The illustrations are captioned in Chinese.Calligraphy credit: 'Abdallah; photographed by the
