Hint
Title is a hint.Here's another hint: The progressive rebus-body shows a "change" in the relative position of three key words. We also refer to a "change in position" as _ _ _ _ _ _.
Answer
Moving Heaven and EarthThe words "Heaven and Earth" are shown to be "moving" from one position ("over there") to a new position ("over here").
The phrase "Moving Heaven and Earth" is a common colloquialism or idiom meaning to go to great lengths and effort to accomplish something, as in "We are moving Heaven and Earth in our efforts to attain knowledge."
The Title (Muhammad's Mountain) refers to the quote: "If the mountain will not come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain."
The word missing in the hint is "moving".

mumbo - have you ever heard the saying that a persn would "move heaven and earth" to do something? That's what this teaser did. The three words "heaven and earth" were slowly being moved from one side to the other - I was moving the words heaven and earth.
I hope that helps explain it better.
