Allah Hafez
This is in reference to the letter "Allah Hafez" by Thomas Gomes Bhura. First I would like to ask two questions. What is the base of your perception that Khoda Hafez is more universal than Allah Hafez? How do you compare Allah Hafez vs Khoda Hafez with somebody being treated as the first lady of the country?
Now for your clarification, saying Allah Hafez or Khoda Hafez at the end of a meeting or speech is purely an Islamic and Muslim culture. Some Muslims say Allah Hafez others Khoda Hafez. Allah Hafez is pure Arabic and it is absolutely correct. Nobody has raised any question about its correctness.
