Peace Wakas

755
Literal Call your Lord humbly and humiliated and hiddenly/secretly, that He does not love/like the transgressors/violators .
Hilali/Khan Invoke your Lord with humility and in secret. He likes not the aggressors.
QXP (He has the power to revive dead nations). Call unto your Lord humbly and in the secrecy of your hearts. He does not love those who transgress the bounds of what He has ordained as right.
Free-Minds Call on your Lord openly and in secret. He does not like the aggressors.
Arberry Call on your Lord, humbly and secretly; He loves not transgressors

The literal translation emphasizes the hidden/secret nature of dua. So do the other translations except Free-Minds. Why has the word "openly" been introduced into the Free-Minds translation?

The middle tone of voice mentioned in 17110 is an important feature of salat. It is different from the silent and secret manner recommended for dua in 755 and dikhr in 7205

Traditionally the first two rakas of the dawn, dusk and night prayers are said in the middle tone. The brother at www.mostmerciful.com/realities-of-our-dailyprayers.htm has presented a case for three times salat based on this

Thanks for the replies. I am reaching a much clearer understanding of this issue.

I see nothing wrong with using "peace be upon him" occassionally but it is not an absolute requirement after every mention of a prophets name.

Peace

It is common practice among muslims to place pbuh (peace be upon him) after writing or saying the prophet's name. According to the quran is there anything wrong with placing this after the name of one who is no longer in this world
