Seeking Guidance on Family, Secret Practice, and Personal Dilemma

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, Respected Shaykh, My name is Saifullah. I am a 19 year old recent revert to Islam. Currently, I am practicing my faith in secret without my parents' knowledge. I am reaching out to seek your Islamic guidance on three pressing issues: Inviting My Parents to Islam: What is the best and most wisdom-filled approach to help my parents understand and eventually embrace Islam? Praying Safely at Home: I am pursuing my undergraduate degree in a different city, where I am able to perform my salah freely. However, when I visit my family during weekends, I struggle to pray. The nearest mosque is 5 km away, and praying at home carries severe personal safety risks (including fear of honor-based violence if discovered). How should I navigate my prayers under these extreme constraints? Dealing with Financial Guilt: Although I am deeply firm and content in my decision to accept Islam, I feel a burden of guilt relying on my parents' financial support for my studies while concealing my faith from them. I would be immensely grateful for your advice and prayers (dua). JazakAllahu Khayran, Saifullah
