  Hello @labeebsaeed –

  There are 2 ways you can achieve this by Domain transfer or Domain mapping.

  Domain Transfer
  If you want to use this domain with your WordPress.com site, you can transfer the domain to WordPress.com and manage your site and domain at the same place read about the process from the help documentation: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/

  Domain Mapping
  This method associates your domain with your WordPress.com site, but the domain continues to be registered, and paid, at Godaddy. You can read more about the process from here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/

  The differences between the two are highlighted here so you can make your choice: https://wordpress.com/support/domain-mapping-vs-domain-transfer/#domain-transfer

  Feel free to post back if you need more clarification.

  Best.
