people who believe in islam often say Khuda Hafiz and Allah Hafiz for prayers and salam. There is a debate from time to time about Allah Hafiz and Khuda Hafiz. javed akhtar recently gave a statement on this during an interview which is going viral which has again raised the debate of Khuda Hafiz and Allah Hafiz among the people. Come, let us tell you what is the difference between Khuda Hafiz and Allah Hafiz. Why there is a debate about both the words.
What is the difference between the two?
Muslims use Khuda Hafiz and Allah Hafiz while bidding farewell. If we look at the meaning of both the words, then both have the same meaning that may Allah protect you. Then a question comes to mind that when the meaning of both is the same, then why is there so much contradiction about both the words.
Actually, the origin of these words is behind this contradiction. Khuda Hafiz is a Persian word, while Allah Hafiz is an Arabic word. javed akhtar explained the difference between these two words during his interview by giving the example of Shia and Sunni. He said that Khuda is a Persian word which is spoken more in Iran. Let us tell you that the words derived from Persian language originated from Iran. Javed further said that the orthodox Sunni Muslims came up with Allah Hafiz because Khuda belongs to everyone. In the recent past, the use of the word Allah Hafiz has increased a lot in the indian subcontinent.
From Khuda Hafiz to Allah Hafiz
In the recent past, there has been a trend from Khuda Hazif to Allah Hafiz, especially in countries like Pakistan, there is a belief that Khuda is a common word, while Allah is a special Islamic word, so people there prefer to say Allah Hafiz. However, in India, a large population still says Khuda Hafiz..jpg)
