"What are the evening azkar and when should I recite them?"
The evening azkar (Adhkar al-Masa) should be recited from Asr until sunset (the Prophet ﷺ said 'evening' begins from this time). Key evening azkar: 'A'udhu bikalimati Allahit-tammati min sharri ma khalaq' (×3), protection from all harm. 'Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma'asmihi shay'un' (×3), nothing harms the one who says this. Ayatul Kursi (×1). Surahs 112, 113, 114 (×3 each). SubhanAllah (×33), Alhamdulillah (×33), Allahu Akbar (×34).
