using Request::is() function with named Routes Laravel

I was doing Request::is('/') which gave me true for example.com Now I am using named routes and for the name welcome

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('admin_panel.welcome');
})->name('welcome');

Request::is(route('welcome')) returns false

What should I do. Note: I am using this for active states in navigation
