They hope that I go back to Christianity. But as I have  already converted to Islam as a Muslim. I don\u2019t believe in that anymore  and people keep telling me I am going through a phase. How do I keep a  relationship with them in order for them to understand that I have  chosen to be Muslim?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>I think you should be still  searching for the truth and you should advise your friends to search for  the truth as well. Even when you have accepted Islam this does not mean  that your search for the truth is now stopped. There are numerous  understandings of what Islam is. Your search for the truth continues in  finding what understanding of Islam satisfies your intellects. Even  after that your search for the truth does not stop as one needs to  always keep one&#8217;s mind open to other thoughts and ideas. Besides, in  following the religion that you believe in, your attitude should be  attitude of &#8216;searching&#8217; to find God in your life, by becoming better and  better every day. <\/p>\n<p>I therefore suggest you see and where needed explain the concept of &#8216;searching&#8217; as stated above.<\/p>\n<p>A straightforward answer to: &#8220;you are  searching for something&#8221; is &#8220;of course I am, that&#8217;s why I have moved on  from my previous understanding of the truth, I don&#8217;t think my search  will ever ended and I think you too have to be searching instead of  deciding that you have all the truth with you&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Farhad Shafti<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-09<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6098\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I converted to Islam from  Christianity and Christian friend keeps telling me that I am searching  for something.
