Question:
The questioner says in her question: What is meant by the morning and evening adhkar? What is the time for their beginning and when do they end? And if saying them in their time is missed, are they made up in another time?
Answer:
The morning and evening adhkar means: coming to the remembrance; Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), La ilaha illa Allah (There is no god but Allah), and Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest), Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi (Glory be to Allah and His praise), Subhan Allah al-Azim (Glory be to Allah the Magnificent), La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulk wa lahul-hamd, wa huwa ala kulli shay'in qadir (There is no god but Allah alone, having no partner, to Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs the praise, and He is over all things capable)... and so on. It is recommended (mustahabb) for the believer to do this, and to strive in the morning and evening, [Q:39], [Ar-Rum:17] and so on.
So the believer strives in the remembrance of his Lord , His glorification, His declaration of His oneness, and His praise in the morning and evening. The Qur'an is part of that; the Qur'an is part of the remembrance. If one reads the Qur'an in the morning or evening, it is part of the remembrance. However, one should seek out the adhkar mentioned in the hadiths so as to perform them, such as saying Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi (Glory be to Allah and His praise) one hundred times in the morning and evening, such as saying Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), La ilaha illa Allah (There is no god but Allah), and Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 2137a These are great words. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Bulugh al-Maram 16:110 And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan an-Nasa'i 924Hasan (Darussalam) And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 6403.
So what is prescribed (mashru') for the believer, male or female, is to increase in remembrance, glorification, and praise in the morning before the midday prayer, from the dawn until the midday prayer, every morning. And after the midday prayer, the whole of the evening is considered evening, and the whole of the afternoon prayer time is considered evening, and the beginning of the night is all considered evening. One should increase in remembrance, praise, declaration of Allah's oneness, and glorification in these times, hoping for the reward of Allah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

It is recommended (mustahabb) for the believer to do this, and to strive in the morning and evening,
and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting,
وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ الْغُرُوبِSo exalted is Allah when you reach the evening and when you reach the morning.
فَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ حِينَ تُمْسُونَ وَحِينَ تُصْبِحُونَSo the believer strives in the remembrance of his Lord , His glorification, His declaration of His oneness, and His praise in the morning and evening. The Qur'an is part of that; the Qur'an is part of the remembrance. If one reads the Qur'an in the morning or evening, it is part of the remembrance.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The dearest phrases to Allah are four: Subhan Allah (Hallowed be Allah), Al-Hamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), La ilaha illa-Allah (There is no deity but Allah), Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greater).
أحب الكلام إلى الله أربع: سبحان الله، والحمد لله، ولا إله إلا الله، والله أكبرThe words dearer to Allah are four: ‘How perfect Allah is and all praise is for Allah. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah alone and Allah is great It does not matter which you say first.
أحب الكلام إلى الله أربع لا يضرك بأيهن بدأت: سبحان الله، والحمد لله، ولا إله إلا الله، والله أكبرSubhanAllah, wal-hamdulilah, wa la illaha ill-Allah, wa Allahu Akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa Billahil-aliy al-azim (Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is none worthy of worship except Allah, Allah is Most Great, and there is no power and no strength except with Allah the Exalted and Magnificent )
الباقيات الصالحات: سبحان الله، والحمد لله، ولا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر، ولا حول ولا قوة إلا باللهWhoever says: "La ilaha illal-lah wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahu-l-mulk wa lahul- hamd wa huwa 'ala kulli shai'in qadir," one hundred times will get the same reward as given for manumitting ten slaves; and one hundred good deeds will be written in his accounts, and one hundred sins will be deducted from his accounts, and it (his saying) will be a shield for him from Satan on that day till night, and nobody will be able to do a better deed except the one who does more than he.
من قال: لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد، وهو على كل شيء قدير في يوم مائة مرة كانت له عدل عشر رقاب -يعني: يعتقها- وكتب الله له مائة حسنة، ومحا عنه مائة سيئة، وكان في حرز من الشيطان يومه ذلك حتى يمسي، ولم يأت أحد بأفضل مما جاء به إلا رجلًا عمل أكثر من عملهSo what is prescribed (mashru') for the believer, male or female, is to increase in remembrance, glorification, and praise in the morning before the midday prayer, from the dawn until the midday prayer, every morning. And after the midday prayer, the whole of the evening is considered evening, and the whole of the afternoon prayer time is considered evening, and the beginning of the night is all considered evening. One should increase in remembrance, praise, declaration of Allah's oneness, and glorification in these times, hoping for the reward of Allah. Yes.
