Struggling to share my faith with my family

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. This is my second time reaching out here. A few hours ago, out of nowhere, my father approached me and said that if I know any Muslims, I should end those friendships right away because he believes they're bad and have harmful intentions. I felt a rush of anger but stayed silent. My father has a very stubborn temper. Even if I showed him clear proof, he'd still insist on his own view, no matter what. Growing up, I faced a lot of harsh words and physical and emotional hurt from him. Right now, I'm still living in my parents' home, so it's really hard to even try talking to him about Islam or Muslim people without fearing constant backlash. Brothers and sisters, I could use some advice. Should I try to talk to my parents about this, or just stay quiet and let them keep their hatred? Jazakum Allahu khayran for your time.

Oh honey, this hit hard. Remember the Prophet's patience with his own family. It's so tough but stay strong, don't let their hatred dim your light.

Some fights aren't worth it when you're still dependent on them. Focus on showing Islam through your character instead of words, maybe they'll notice the change in you.

Stay quiet for now. Your Iman is beautiful, protect it. Allah sees your struggle.

Sis, your safety comes first. You can make dua for them quietly. No need to confront right now, especially living under his roof. May Allah soften their hearts.
