From al-Malfūdh Sharīf, pp. 380:
There are three types of Qiyāmah.
The first type is, Qiyamah al-Sughrā [small/minor Qiyāmah] and that is death. It is said, When anyone of you die, indeed Qiyāmah begins.
The second Qiyāmah is that all the people of one generation will die and a new set of people are born to replace the departed generation.
The third type is Qiyāmah al-Kubrā [Major/Final Qiyāmah]. This is when the skies, earth and everything in it will be destroyed.
