When would one use ahlan instead of as-salaamu alaikum?

one is just more formal and traditional: 'as-salaamu 3alaykum' (may peace be upon you)

    Is there any difference with this word and "marhaba?" Both mean "hello," right? Is one more formal or relaxed than the other?

      Not sure, but as I understand marhaba means "welcome", and is sometimes used as a greeting.
