Salah --- If Muhammad (PBUH) can't go to the mountain, the mountain will come to him

If one cannot get one's own way, one must adjust to the inevitable. The legend goes that when the founder of Islam was asked to give proofs of his teaching, he ordered Mount Safa to come to him. When the mountain did not comply, Mohammed raised his hands toward heaven and said, 'God is merciful. Had it obeyed my words, it would have fallen on us to our destruction. I will therefore go to the mountain and thank God that he has had mercy on a stiff-necked generation.

If someone won’t do as you wish or a situation can’t be arranged to suit you, you must accept it and change your plans accordingly. [With allusion to a well-known story about Muhammad told by Bacon (Essays xii)]
