Question

Assalamu Alykum, I want to ask What about praying Fard Salaat in moving train ,bus or any moving vehicle which is beyond your control. Also, the place is moving and you can not stand/make sajda properly and also you can not order to stop the vehicle. In such situation what should you do? In India, people pray in Train . Also the whole solar System is moving around galactic center and so our world is also not stationary and we pray in this moving world.
