Dought - clear - Why do we pray Zuhr and ‘Asr silently?.

Why do we recite zuhr and asr prayer in low voice when it is clearly
mentioned in the quran the following ?.
Praise be to Allaah.
It was decreed that recitation in Zuhr and 'Asr should be done
silently because the timeof these prayers is during the day, and at
that time a person's mind may be preoccupied with a lot of thoughts,
as he is busy with his work or trade or manufacturing. If the
recitation were to be done out loud, his mind would be distracted and
he would not listen attentively to the imam's recitation; hewould not
listen to it or devote his attention to it; rather other things would
come to mind anddistract him. So he was commanded to recite to himself
so that his recitation will make him think and ponder. It is well
known that if people pray in congregation for Zuhr or'Asr prayer, they
should not recite out loud, because then they would distract one
another. So both the imam and the one who is praying behind him are
enjoined to recite silently. But with regard to the prayers that are
offered during the night, in most cases people are free from
distractions so the imam is enjoined to recite out loud, so that
others may benefit from his recitation.
With regard to the verse which you mention, it applies only to qiyaam
al-layl and tahajjud. If a person is praying and there are people
aroundhim who are listening tohis recitation and others who are
asleep, then he should not recite so loudly as not to disturb those
who are sleeping or so quietly as to cause those who are listening to
him to miss out on any benefit; rather he should recite at a moderate
volume, enough to be heard but not so loud as to disturb those who are
asleep. It also states in the verse that the Messenger )blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him( used to recite out loud and the mushrikeen
heard him and reviled the Qur'aan and the one who had bought it, so he
was forbidden to recite out loud and he began to recite silently, but
then the members ofhis household and those who were listening to him
missed out on the benefit, so he was enjoined to recite at a moderate
volume.
Shaykh 'Abd-Allah ibn Jibreen )may Allah have mercy on him(.
