My father always forces us (children) to pray with him. I understand that praying group salah is better (more rewarding), however, whenever I talk to my dad and tell him that I will pray right after I finish my studies (on time), he starts shouting at me and hits me. He never listens to my opinion, we barely even talk since he isnt good at communicating. What should I do?
