وَابۡتَغِ فِیۡمَاۤ اٰتٰٮکَ اللّٰہُ الدَّارَ الۡاٰخِرَۃَ ۖ وَلَا تَنۡسَ نَصِیۡبَکَ مِنَ الدُّنۡیَا ۖ وَاَحۡسِنۡ کَمَاۤ اَحۡسَنَ اللّٰہُ اِلَیۡکَ ۖ وَلَا تَبۡغِ الۡفَسَادَ فِی الۡاَرۡضِ ۖ اِنَّ اللّٰہَ لَا یُحِبُّ الۡمُفۡسِدِیۡنَ
Commentary:
Islam does not view with favour such flight from the world as Christianity inculcates among its votaries. One should not deny one’s portion of the good things of the world. As a matter of fact at another place in the Quran the believers are enjoined to pray to God "to grant them the good things of this world as well as the good things of the world to come" (2:202), only the pursuit of the good things of this world should not make one neglect the seeking of the good things of the Hereafter. Islam is not a religion of monks and recluses but of pious and righteous men of the world.

قُلِ ادۡعُوا اللّٰہَ اَوِ ادۡعُوا الرَّحۡمٰنَ ۖ اَیًّا مَّا تَدۡعُوۡا فَلَہُ الۡاَسۡمَآءُ الۡحُسۡنٰی ۚ وَلَا تَجۡہَرۡ بِصَلَاتِکَ وَلَا تُخَافِتۡ بِہَا وَابۡتَغِ بَیۡنَ ذٰلِکَ سَبِیۡلًا
یعنی عیسائیوں کو جو یہود کا حصہ ہیں اور صفت رحمان کے منکر ہیں۔ چنانچہ ان کی کتابوں پر بسم اللہ لکھی ہوتی ہے مگر رحمٰن کا لفظ اس میں سے کاٹا ہوا ہوتا ہے۔ کیونکہ رحمٰن کی صفت کفّارہ کو ردّ کرتی ہے۔
بہت اونچی آواز میں دعا کرنے سے اس لئے روکا کہ اس میں دکھاوا ہو سکتا ہے اور بالکل نیچی آواز سے اس لئے روکا کہ بہت آہستہ پڑھنے سے بات بھول جاتی ہے اور توجہ قائم نہیں رہتی۔

God possesses innumerable attributes and a Muslim should invoke in his prayer that particular Divine attribute which has special bearing on the matter for which he seeks Divine guidance and help.

7:56,206.
Commentary:
In the previous verse reference was made to prostrations and prayers. In the present verse a Muslim is taught how to pray while prostrating for the fulfilment of God’s promises and the betterment of his own self.
The expression, His are the most beautiful names, signifies that God has many names which express His various attributes and a Muslim should invoke in his prayer that particular attribute of God which has a special bearing on the matter for which he wants to pray. If, for instance, the object of prayer falls under the category of God’s attribute of رحمانیتthe supplicant should invoke His attribute of الرحمان (the Gracious). Similarly, if the object for which he prays has particular reference to the attribute of الرحیم (the Merciful), or الرزاق (the Great Sustainer), or الوھاب (the Bestower), these attributes should be invoked and so on, i.e. prayer should be offered to God by invoking the relevant Divine attributes.
The word صلواة applies to both the five daily Prayers, and prayer in general. The context, however, shows that it is prayer in general that is meant here.
The expression, but seek a way between, implies an injunction that we should pray to God neither too-loudly, for He is not deaf, nor in too low a voice as that would interfere with our concentration of mind in prayer.
