According to Hadis We recite our Juhr &amp; Maghrib prayer(first 2 rakas), maintaining  audible tones and 2nd parts are silently, also maintaining total silence in Asr prayer. Whereas the Quran says otherwise;

&quot;And neither speak thy Prayer aloud nor speak it in a low tone but seek a middle course between&quot;. Sura Al-Israa (17) verse 110 Translation by Yusuf Ali

Why this difference?[/quote][/brown]

[black]Why is there a difference? It's because you didn't do your homework right. Firstly the quran only speaks about Muslims enjoining prayers, it doesn't state the method for praying. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us how to pray.[/black]

Now coming to what you have qouted. Surah Isra (17:110); brother the following narrative of  explains the verse.[/black]

[green]Sahi Al-Bukhari Volume 9, Book 93, Number 582: [/green]

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

(regarding the Verse):-- 'Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.' (17.110) [hl]This Verse was revealed while Allah's Apostle was hiding himself in Mecca, and when he raised his voice while reciting the Qur'an, the pagans would hear him and abuse the Qur'an and its Revealer and to the one who brought it[/hl]. So Allah said:--

'Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.' (17.110) That is, 'Do not say your prayer so loudly that the pagans can hear you, nor say it in such a low tone that your companions do not hear you.' But seek a middle course between those (extremes), i.e., let your companions hear, but do not relate the Qur'an loudly, so that they may learn it from you.[/blue]

Regarding the recitation in the prayers the following narratives explains it.

[green]Sahi Al-Bukhari Volume 1, Book 12, Number 726: [/green] 
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abi Qatada:

[blue]My father said, &quot;The Prophet in Zuhr prayers used to recite Al-Fatiha along with two other Suras in the first two Rakat: a long one in the first Rak'a and a shorter (Sura) in the second, and [hl]at times the [/hl] verses were audible. In the 'Asr prayer the Prophet used to recite Al-Fatiha and two more Suras in the first two Rakat and used to prolong the first Rak'a. And he used to prolong the first Rak'a of the Fajr prayer and shorten the second. [/blue] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[green]Sahi Al-Bukhari Volume 1, Book 12, Number 730: [/green]

[blue]Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

(My mother) Umu-l-Fadl heard me reciting &quot;Wal Mursalati 'Urfan&quot; (77) and said, &quot;O my son! By Allah, your recitation made [hl]me remember that it was the last Sura I heard from Allah's Apostle. He recited it in the Maghrib prayer.[/hl] &quot; [/blue]

[green]Sahi Al-Bukhari
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 734: [/green] 
Narrated Al-Bara:

[blue]The Prophet was on a journey and recited in one of [hl]the first two Rakat of the 'Isha' prayer &quot;Wat-tini waz-zaituni.&quot;[/hl] (95) [/blue]
