Sword of Allah (Arabic: سيف الله‎, English transliteration: Saifullah) was a title given to Khalid ibn al-Walid by Muhammad, the prophet of Islam. The name is considered by some to be an Islamic honorary title for Muslims of military valor, especially in re-establishing Islam against a kafir opponent. Some examples include:

• 7th century general Khalid ibn al-Walid
• Anzor Astemirov (nom de guerre 'Saifullah'), a senior field commander in the Caucasian Front and well known personality 'Saifullah Imtiaz Shaikh'
• Daniel Patrick Boyd is also known as Saifullah.

The term is also found, like many titles, in various individual names of persons and places, such as:

• Anwar Saifullah Khan
• Qilla Saifullah, and after him Qila Saifullah (a Pakistani Beluchi town) in Qilla Saifullah District
• Saifullah Khan
• Salim Saifullah Khan
• Zafar Saifullah
• Moosa Saifullah
• Khalid Abdul Muhammad
