Random information on the term “SAWS”:
The Arabic phrase ʿalayhi as-salām (عليه السلام), which translates as “peace be upon him” is a conventionally complimentary phrase or durood attached to the names of the prophets in Islam. The English phrase is also given the abbreviation pbuh in writing. An extended variant of the phrase reads ṣallā Allāhu ʿalayhi wa- ala ālihi wa-sallam (Arabic: صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم ) [lit.] “blessings of God be upon him and his family and peace”, and it is often abbreviated SAWS in writing in an English-language context. The Arabic phrase is given the name ṣalawāt. The phrase is encoded as a ligature at Unicode codepoint U+FDFA ﷺ ARABIC LIGATURE SALLALLAHOU ALAYHE WASALLAM
Some Islamic scholars have voiced disagreement with the practice of abbreviating these phrases, arguing that it demonstrates laziness and a lack of respect.
When mentioning the Sahabah (the companions, disciples, scribes and family of the Islamic prophet Muhammad), radhi Allahu anhu (for males) and radhi Allahu anha (for women) are used by Sunnis; they mean may God be pleased with him or her respectively. The phrase is sometimes also used after mentioning other names including that of Jesus and Moses, but the term عليه سلام ʿalayhi salaam, “On him be peace” is more common.
Random information on the term “MOTS”:
In broadcasting, vox populi (/ˈvɒks ˈpɒpjuːli/, /-laɪ/ VOKS POP-ew-lee, -lye) is an interview with members of the public. Vox populi is a Latin phrase that literally means “voice of the people”.
American television personality Steve Allen as the host of The Tonight Show further developed the “man on the street” interviews and audience-participation comedy breaks that have become commonplace on late-night TV. Usually the interviewees are shown in public places, and supposed to be giving spontaneous opinions in a chance encounter – unrehearsed persons, not selected in any way. As such, broadcast journalists almost always refer to them as the abbreviated vox pop.[citation needed] In U.S. broadcast journalism it is often referred to as a man on the street interview or MOTS.
Because the results of such an interview are unpredictable at best, usually vox pop material is edited down very tightly. This presents difficulties of balance, in that the selection used ought to be, from the point of view of journalistic standards, a fair cross-section of opinions.
