Front אם ההר לא יבוא אל מוחמד, מוחמד יבוא אל ההר
Back Taken from the Quran I think, meaning that"If the mountain doesn't come to Muhammad, Muhammad will come to the mountain"a good example will be when you invite someone over many times and they never come until one day you decide that if the mountain doesn't come to Muhammad, Muhammad will come to the mountain and you go to their place to pay them a visit.Many times we will switch the phrasing so that the mountain moves rather than Muhammad which is kind of weird and has never really been observed in nature but sounds way cooler.
