Al-Qiyamah al-Ṣughra (the Lesser Resurrection) (Arabic: القیامة الصغری) refers to the period between death and al-Qiyamah al-Kubra (the greater Resurrection).

Referring to this hadith of the Prophet (s) saying, "When a person dies, his resurrection will begin"[1], some scholars of theology believe that every person has two resurrections: A lesser resurrection and a greater resurrection.[2] The lesser resurrection of a person begins with his death and continues until the greater resurrection.[3] Some theological books use the expression "al-Qiayamah al-Sughra" to refer to Barzakh.[4]

According to verses of the noble Qur'an, the time of the greater resurrection is unknown and only God knows about it.[5] Fayd Kashani said that as soon as all humans die, the lesser resurrection will end and the greater resurrection will begin; but, the time when all people would die is known only by God.[6] According to hadiths, the lesser resurrection is peculiar to humans, while in the greater resurrection, all beings will be present.[7]

In some hadiths and Shi'a books, Raj'a is referred to as the lesser resurrection.[8] In the terminology of Islamic mysticism, the volitional death is referred to as the lesser resurrection.[9]
