Why do you say Allah Hafiz and not Khuda Hafiz?
P.S. Rasool-e-Ummi is no longer password protected.

What I know is, Allah is a unique word, it has no plural no anotonym and no masculine or feminine but khuda does have all these associated with it. Though I don’t remember but readit somewhere too that if we divide the word meaning of Allah is still there for instance the last ‘hu’ means ‘he-the one’
I say both…depends on how Im feeling like ^.^ …good question tho. Hmmm… lekin then again..in pakistan there are numerous ways one can say “bye” …essentially it means “may God protect you” …right? ..so what difference does it make if its Allah Hafiz/Khuda Hafiz or Allah Nigehban…0-o
It’s just to show that there is no better a protector except Allah SWT.
Err.. I think I agree with Qurrat here.
First of all, I’d say it is your intention that matters. As cynic said above, Allah is a unique word, used only for the creator of this world. Khuda means god that might have plurals and masculines and feminines etc.
Secondly, Allah is made up of two words, ‘al’, and “ilah”. Al is used to convert a common noun to a proper noun, to make something unique. Like Al-kitab versus kitab (which would mean some specific book versus any book). And ilah means one who is worshiped. So ‘al’ and ‘ilah’ would mean someone specific who is worshiped, i.e. the creator of this world…
