Khuda (Persian: خُدا, romanized: xodâ, Persian pronunciation: [xoˈdɒː]) is the Persian word for God. Originally, it was used as a noun in reference to Ahura Mazda (the name of the God in Zoroastrianism) although it is now mainly used to refer to the God in an Islamic context. Iranian languages, Turkic languages, and many Indo-Aryan languages employ the word.[1] Today, it is a word that is largely used in the non-Arabic Islamic world, with wide usage from its native country Iran, along with Turkey, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and some Muslim-majority areas of India, as well as Southern and Southwestern Russia.[2][3]
