How do you say welcome in Muslim?

There is no single word in Arabic (the language of the Quran and used by many Muslims) that translates directly to "welcome" as we understand it in English.

However, depending on the context, here are some appropriate phrases you can use:

Formal:

* أهلاً و سهلاً (Ahlan wa sahlan) - This is the most common and versatile phrase, meaning "Welcome."

* مرحباً (Marhabaan) - This phrase means "Hello" but can also be used as a greeting that implies "Welcome."

Informal:

* اهلين (Ahlan) - A shortened version of "أهلاً و سهلاً", more casual and friendly.

* حياكم الله (Hayaakum Allah) - Literally "May Allah grant you life," it conveys a warm welcome and hospitality.

* مُرْحَبًا بِكُم (Murhában bikum) - "Welcome" in a formal way, appropriate for a larger group of people.

Specific scenarios:

* أهلاً و سهلاً بكم في بيتنا (Ahlan wa sahlan bikum fi baytina) - "Welcome to our home."

* أهلاً و سهلاً بكم في بلدنا (Ahlan wa sahlan bikum fi baladna) - "Welcome to our country."

* أهلاً و سهلاً بكم في هذا الحدث (Ahlan wa sahlan bikum fi hadha al-hadith) - "Welcome to this event."

Remember, the best way to say "welcome" is to choose a phrase that feels natural and appropriate to the situation.
