The saying "if Mahommed doesn't go the mountain, the mountain will go to Mahommed"?
599993
IF THE MOUNTAIN WILL NOT COME TO MOHAMMED, MOHAMMED WILL GO TO THE MOUNTAIN - "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.' The saying has been traced back in English to 'Essays,' (1625) by English philosopher Frances Bacon (1561-1626). It was included in John Ray's book of English proverbs in 1678. First attested in the United States in 'Jonathan Belcher Papers' (1733). In German, the phrase translates as 'Wenn der Berg nicht zum Propheten kommt, mu?der Prophetzum Berg kommen." From "Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings" (1996) by Gregory Y. Titelman (Random House, New York, 1996). I put the "?" in the German phrase because there was a do-jigger that I don't have. \n\n> p.s. BTW, the expression has no basis in the authentic tradition of prophet Mohamed (pbuh) although it is attributed to him.

This is weird; exactly the same verse I was checking in English for another question!\nHere we go ...\n25:63: In the Name of Allah: 'And the (faithful) slaves of the Most Gracious (Allah) are those who walk on the earth in humility and sedateness, and when the foolish address them (with bad words) they reply back with mild words of gentleness'.\n\nHope this is the one you mean. Please tell me if not :)

There is actually a great deal of doubt that he lead them across the Red Sea. It does not say Red Sea in the scriptures. That is just a supposition made by some people.

Friend, Don't worry, In God's due time, He will scatter all those muslims & arabs out of The Promised Land that God gave to Abraham, & Isaac, that promise never went to Ishmeal, & God will famish all the gods of the earth & then they shall know who The One True God is, & it is not allah.

I believe this in is the QUR'AN.\n\n\nDr. Bucaille says:\n\nHere men are told that the mountains are placed as tent pegs. Tent pegs keep the tent stable so again the idea is put forward that the pegs, the mountains, will keep the earth from shaking. \n\nA third picture is present in the word (rawasiya) used for mountains. Wehr translates this word as unshakable mountains. The Munjid says (al-jibal al-thawabat al-ruwasikh) firmly established, fixed mountains. The word comes from the root (arsa), the same root used for the Arabic word for anchor. To throw out or cast the anchor is (alqa almirsah). So instead of "cast the anchor to keep the ship from moving", we have "cast the mountains to keep the earth from shaking". \n\nFrom these pictures it is clear that Muhammad's followers understood that the Mountains were thrown down \n\n(a) like tent pegs to keep a tent in place. \n\n(b) like an anchor to hold a ship in place. \n\n(c) to stop the earth from moving. i.e. limit earthquakes, \n\nBut, in fact, this is false. Earthquakes are common events associated with the forming of mountains. \n\nSince these verses present a definite problem, after quoting several of the above verses about mountains Dr. Bucaille says, \n\n"Modern geologists describe the folds in the Earth as giving foundations to the mountains, and their dimensions go roughly one mile to roughly 10 miles. The stability of the Earth's crust results from the phenomenon of these folds."

I think it's from "The Prophet" by Kahil Gibran. Not sure if I've spelled his name righ, but look it up on Google.

sure you don't mean beat. this is probably one of the most famous quotes in the bible and is on a statue in front of the UN\n\nIsaiah 2:4  He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.

Is it the one 'If you can keep your head when all around are losing theres, you'll be a man my son'? (I think that might be Rudyard Kiplings 'If' though.)

BOB:I EDITED IT. I'M LOGGING OUT. TYPE YOUR QUESTIONS. I'LL TRY TO EXPLAIN THEM LATER.\n\nHey "Bob". Now, you need to know that the Koran is poetic. God also said that he kept the planets not colliding with each other. But we know that it is caused by gravity.\n\nGod also said that He is closer to us than the jugular vein. There is a hadith that said that He can ve contained in a pious slave's heart. Now all these references are poetic.\n\nThere are other translations, such as Pickthall's, that translated the word into "heavens".\n \nAccording to Yusuf Ali's translation, it is referred as "rain".\n\nMaybe, just maybe, that He was referring to comets and meteors. Maybe He said "the sky" because 1400 years ago, Arabs didn't know about comets and meteors. The verse also states that it can fall by His leave, His power, it can fall. There are records that meteors have hit the earth. But this is just my opinion.\n\nEDIT: Punishment for satan is in hell. Those verses are talking about the punishments waiting for satan in hell. The words did not say comets, but FIRE.\n\nBesides, you haven't stated your thoughts on the other translations by Pickthall or Yusuf Ali.\n\nEDIT:Oh, wait. I remembered your point of "air falling on earth" thing. Now, as you read it, you do realise that the verse states:\n\n....and the ships that sail through the sea by His Command?...\n\nIf there was a storm or strong wind, rain, etc (the sky falling, as if there was heavy winds, as described poeticly),surely the ship's sailing was to be affected and face possibility of shipwreck?

The original phrase was "Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum." (igeetoor qwee dayseederaht pahkem, praypahret bellum), Therefore, he who desires peace should prepare for war.

It's hard to say. Many times when you take things like that out of context, they can lose a lot of their meaning. However, it seems to me that he was saying that he would send prophets to us to help show us the way.

The Prophet now expands his subject, and shows that when the people repented, the fruits of repentance would openly appear. One fruit he records, and that is, that they would then begin to worship God purely, all superstitions being abolished. It shall be, he says, in that day that thou shalt call me, My husband; and he mentions the word, husband, to show to the people, that after having been corrected, they would be mindful of the covenant which God had made with them; and in that covenant, as stated before, there was the condition of a mutual engagement.\n\nWe hence see what the Prophet means: he tells us that the people would then be no more given to superstitions as before, but on the contrary would be mindful of God's covenant, and would continue sincere and true to their conjugal vow. Hence, thou shalt call me, My husband; that is, "Thou shalt know what I am to thee, that I am joined to thee by a sacred and inviolable marriage." And thou shalt not call me, My Baal; that is, "Thou shalt not give me a false and heathenish name:" for the word, Baal, as I have said before, was everywhere in every one's mouth. But the next verse must be added --

Hey, I'm no prophet; but thanks for the remark.\n\n\nOk, I'll play along.\n\nOpen thine ears, and hearken unto my voice all true Squiggries and Migglies. The day of reckoning is at hand. Let the wrath of the Bafuudo be redeemed. Arise, I tell you, arise and take up arms against the lowly zabubabulooians. For they shall be like flies to our newspaper, and ants to our magnifying glass.\n\nSo saith airborne_lt

A more important rule:\nIf enemies attack or invade an islamic land, it is up to the muslims to fight and protect it.\n\nThe prophecy is true, no doubt, but we can't just sit there and do nothing.
