From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Al-Hajj
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 Khalili Collections

I am Chris Barna. I am a teenager living in San Diego, California. I have used wikipedia for quite a while but only started editing recently. I maintain a weblog at blog.unbrain.net. I currently attend High Tech High International as a sophomore.

I am very interested in computers, particularly Linux and Macintosh. I also like photography, surfing, sailing, and writing. I read an incredible amount of news for somebody my age and I would like to be a journalist when I get out of school.
