Enter into Islam completely

This verse from the Quran emphasizes the importance of embracing Islam wholeheartedly. It encourages Muslims to commit fully to the teachings and values of Islam without hesitation or partiality. There is a warning against picking and choosing from Islamic principles based on convenience or personal preference, as true belief requires the acceptance of Islam in its entirety. According to Tafsir Ibn Kathir, this ayah (verse) calls upon the believers to adopt the entire Islamic way of life, which includes fulfilling both private and public aspects of religion. The reference to not following the footsteps of Satan serves as a reminder that Satan's tactics are subtle and he aims to mislead believers from the straight path. The Quran frequently symbolizes Satan as a clear enemy, for example in Surah Yasin (36:60), indicating the constant vigilance required against his whispers. Engaging fully in Islam is more than just following rituals; it means aligning one's actions, thoughts, and intentions with Islamic teachings. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) illustrates this in his life by demonstrating integrity, honesty, and kindness, urging his followers to do the same. By 'entering into Islam completely', one not only protects oneself from the deceit of Satan but also strengthens the bond with Allah, fostering a society built on faith, justice, and righteousness.
