Struggling to Pray Maghrib and Isha Around Non-Muslim Family

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I'm a revert, and I'm having a hard time keeping up with Maghrib and Isha prayers. In the evenings, I'm usually with family, like during workouts, dinners, or just hanging out. They don't know I'm Muslim because they're pretty Islamophobic, so I'm scared to tell them. Because of this, I often miss those prayers. How can I make them up? Any advice?

Man, I feel this. Said I was going for a walk and prayed in a park once. Just make sure you pray, Allah sees your struggle.

Revert here too. I used to delay Isha till everyone slept. It's hard but don't give up. For missed prayers, make them up and increase nafl if you can.

Bro, you’re not alone. Maybe try excusing yourself to the bathroom for wudu and pray in your room quietly. They don’t need to know. Combine when necessary, but strive to make them on time.

Hide your faith if needed but keep praying, bro. Combine Maghrib and Isha if travel or fear, but scholars differ. Better to make up later if you must miss.

Tough situation, akhi. I used to pray in a locked room or even in the backyard. If you miss, make up as soon as possible with sincere tawbah.

May Allah make it easy. You can pray sitting or lying if you fear harm, but if you can slip away after dinner, do it. Their Islamophobia is their problem, not yours.
