Hi Nizam,

If you're using API version 43 and up, you can implement lightning:isUrlAddressable interface and use pageReference attribute. A good example of this was posted here (https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/165650/getting-the-url-parameter-into-lightning-component-using-the-paramname-exp). Below is a recap of the example provided:
  
Example - Component Assume url is https://<instance>.lightning.force.com/lightning/cmp/<namespace>__componentName?testAttribute=abc

Lightning Component: 
<aura:component implements="lightning:isUrlAddressable">
   <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.doInit}" description="Handler for valueInit event fired when the component has been initialised"/>
        {!v.pageReference.state.testAttribute}
</aura:component>


Controller: 
({
    doInit : function(component, event, helper) {
        console.log(component.get("v.pageReference").state.testAttribute);
    }
})
