Answer 1

There are no Muslim words, because "Muslim" is not a language. Conquest in Arabic is Fateh.

Answer 2

Although "Muslim" is not a language, there are two general words of Arabic origin generally used to describe conquest.

There is Fateh (فتح) which is a positive connotation to conquest and usually used by Muslims to indicate when Muslims have conquered territory previously controlled by non-Muslims. It comes from the verb "to open" in that the land is now "open" to the teachings and governance of Islam whereas before it was not. A famous use of this term is the sobriquet "el-Fatih" or "the Conqueror" that was applied to Sultan Mehmet II of the Ottoman Empire for his conquest of Constantinople from the Byzantines.

There is also Ehtilaal (احتلال) which is conquer in the negative sense and is usually used by Muslims to describe territory conquered by non-Muslims, especially if the territory conquered was formerly under Muslim control. It comes from the verb "to occupy" in the sense of "occupying land". The term is commonly used to refer to the colonization of the Islamic World by the European Powers and for the State of Israel's presence in the Middle East.
