Enter Islam in whole

 يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ ادْخُلُواْ فِي السِّلْمِ كَآفَّةً وَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ

(2:208) O Believers, enter completely into Islam and do not follow in the footsteps of Satan, for he is your avowed enemy.
God demands that man should submit, without reservation, the whole of his being to His will. Man's outlook, intellectual pursuits, behaviour, interaction with other people and modes of endeavour should all be completely subordinate to Islam. God does not accept the splitting up of human life into separate compartments, some governed by the teachings of Islam and others exempt. (Tafheemul Quran)

Chapter 139
Excellence of Greeting on Arrival and Departure

وفارق جلساءه أَوْ جليسه

[869] وعن أَبي هريرة قال : قَالَ رسول الله : « إِذَا انْتَهى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى المَجْلِسِ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ ، فَإذَا أرَادَ أنْ يَقُومَ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ ، فَلَيْسَتِ الأُولَى بِأحَقّ مِنَ الآخِرَةِ » . رواه أَبُو داود والترمذي ، وقال : ( حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ) . فيه : مشروعية السلام عند دخول المجلس ، وعند القيام منه . قال الطيبي : قيل : كما أن التسليمة الأولى إخبار عن سلاماتهم من شره عند الحضور ، فكذا الثانية إخبار عن سلامتهم من شره عند الغيبة .

869. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "When one of you arrives in a gathering, he should offer Salam to those who are already there, and he should also do so when he intends to depart. The first act of greeting is not more meritorious than the last."

[Abu Dawud].

Commentary: We should offer As-Salam to those sitting in a gathering, on our arrival as well as departure. Both the greetings are essential. "The first act of greeting is not more meritorious than the last" means that we should utter it on both occasions.
