[quote]To my understanding, Allah hafiz or Khuda Hafiz is Persian and as Urdu language contains hundreds of persian words, so muslims living in Indo-pak have acquired this way of saying goodbye. The expression means " Allah or God ( Khuda ) be a protector( Hafiz come from "Hifazat") of you. I have seen Arab muslims saying Assalam O Alaikum while departing. In the light of the ayat 86, sura 4, which is mentioned twice above, i consider "Allah Hafiz" a good greeting. While saying Asslaam O Alaikum may be the best way of greeting, no other way of greeting should be considered unislamic or Bidhat.[/quote]
