QAYAMAT
Meaning of Qayamat
Qayamat is a variant of the arabic word Qiyamah, which comes from the root word Qiyam (means to stand).
So the Day of Qayamat means the Day of Standing, which is also called the Day of Resurrection or the Day of Judgement.
It
is the day when everyone will be resurrected and brought forward to
their Lord and will be judged. The reason why it is called the Day of
Standing (Day of Qiyamah) is because everyone will be standing. There
will not be any sitting, or lying down or kneeling.
RESURRECTION DAY:
Surely, your Lord will judge them on the Day of Resurrection regarding everything they have disputed. [Ariah: 17]
The horn will be blown, whereupon they will rise from the grave and go to their Lord. [Ya Sin:]

Time of Qayamat:
When
Allah decrees that all living beings should die, He will command the
Angel (Israfeel) to blow the Trumpet, so he will give a mighty blast
which will terrify all creatures, as a result of which they will swoon
and die. Then they will stay like that for as long as Allah Decrees,
which is described as 40 without specifying whether that is years,
months or days -- Allah Knows best how long it is. Their bodies will
decay within this period until there is nothing left but the bone at the
base of the coccyx (a round bone at the base of the spine).
Then
Allah will send a cloud that will release Rain, and when the water
reaches this bone, bodies will grow from it like a plant grows and they
will be Recreated from this bone, just as Allah created them the first
time, for He is able to do all things. Then he will blow the Trumpet to
signal the Resurrection,
and the souls will return to their bodies and will come forth from
their graves and hasten to the place of the gathering. We ask Allah for
His mercy and kindness.
Muslims must prepare for these decisive moments by hastening to do
righteous deeds and keeping away from evil things and bad deeds. If the
Prophet (S) i.e. the one who feared Allah most said, "How can I feel at
ease when the one who will blow the Trumpet has placed it to his mouth,
bent his forehead and inclined his ear, waiting to see when he will be
Ordered to blow it?" [At-Tirmidhi, graded Sahih by Shaykh Albani in
Al-Silsilah;1079] then what about us who are weak and fall short? We ask
Allah to make us among those who will not be grieved by the greatest
terror when the Angels will meet them (with the greeting), "This is your
Day which you were promised!" (Quran, Al-Anbiya' 21;103).
