He was 78 but died at 84.

# If you understand Arabic, you wouldn't have misconstrued that verse even without checking the book of Qur'anic exegesis (Tafasir).

# The word "Salat" does not always mean "five daily prayer/Salat". It could be "praise, supplication etc" depending on the context in which it is being used. In the verse you have quoted, it doesn't mean "the five daily prayer" rather it follows and derived its meaning from the word "Du'a - call/supplication/prayer" in the opening sentence of the same verse: "Say, 'Call Allah or Call ar-Rahman..."

# Let me cite you another example, the same word "Salat" is used in the following two verses with absolutely different meaning:

1. Surah Al-Ahzab, Verse 56:

"Surely Allah and His angels are Praying upon the Prophet (yuSALUna ala Nabiy); O you who believe! call for (Divine) blessings on him and salute him with a (becoming) salutation."

* yuSALuna - present (tense) verb of "Salat".


2. Surah Maidah: 6

" O ye who believe, when you rise for Salat, wash your faces and your hands..."


* It is crystal clear that the word "Salat" in the first verse means "praise, blessings" while it means the conventional "five daily prayer" in the second verse.


# So, the ayah you have quoted simply gives directive on how "supplication/prayer/Salat - Du'a" (again not five daily salat) are to be recited when we CALL (id'u) or calling Allah or Ar-Rahman. We should not shout (aloud) like the Christians or keep mute and murmuring like the Jews. We should rather maintain a balance course.


# Reciting surah al-Fatiha and other suwar aloud (not shout) and in lowest voice during Salat of different time is established in various ahadith whereby the sahabah could heard and followed the recitation of their Imam, the holy Prophet (salallahu alayhi wa ahli).

Buhari may very likely win again in 2019. I don't like it, but it seems inevitable.
