Question

What is the correct time for reading Surah Sajdah, Surah Mulk, Surah Waqiah? After Maghrib or After Esha or anytime?

Should it be read in any sequence?

What is the rewards for reciting each of them?

Answer

It is permissible to read at any of these times.

It is better to recite Surah Sajdah then Waaqi`ah and then Mulk.

All these were the Sunnats of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). Surah Waaq`iah ensures barkat in sustenance and Surah Mulk will grant you protection against the azaab of the grave.
