Marhaba is an Arabic word used in the Middle East as a greeting (in English Hello). The origin of the word comes from Aramaic, the old Syrian language of Jesus Christ. It is a combination of two words: MAR + HABA MAR, meaning God, Lord or Master. HABA, meaning Love. So, Marhaba means "God is Love".
Marhaba Chris May you celebrate the love of God deep within your heart as Jesus brings new meaning to life... Joy, Hope, Peace... because His love is eternal. May His eternal love shine upon you always! Nabeel
