Jkz for that brother I understand now, when you say iqamat that means calling everyone to pray?
Yes, that's exactly what iqamah is. Below is a quote from wikipedia explaining it:


The word 'iqamah' or ikamet (Arabic: إقامة‎) refers to the second call to Islamic Prayer, given immediately before the prayer begins. Generally speaking, the iqamah is given more quickly and in a more monotone fashion, as compared to the adhan, as it is addressed to those already in the mosque rather than a reminder for those outside it to go to the mosque. It differs from the first call to prayer, the adhan in only one place (line 6, below):

Recital Arabic Transliteration Translation

2x الله اكبر الله اكبر āllahu ākbar, āllahu ākbar God is Greatest, God is Greatest,

2x اشهد ان لا اله الا الله āsh'hadu ān lā ilaha illā-llah I assert that there is no god but God,

2x اشهد ان محمد رسول الله āsh'hadu ānna mūhammadār rasūlu-llah I assert that Muhammad is the Messenger of God,

2x حي على الصلاة hayyā `alā-s-salat Come to prayer,

2x حي على الفلاح hayyā `alā-l-falāh Come to worship,

2x قد قامت الصلاة qad qāma tis-salaat Stand for prayer,

1x الله اكبر الله اكبر āllahu ākbar, āllahu ākbar God is Greatest, God is Greatest,

1x لا اله الا الله lā ilaha illā-llah There is no god but God

According to the Hanafi school of thought, the content of the Iqama is the same as the Adhan i.e. the number of times the lines are recited are the same, but with 'Stand for prayer' read twice after 'Come to salvation'. And here's a video with a brother saying the iqamat: http://youtu.be/m0CH3yQeHQQ. The time between the Adhan and the Iqamah is one where a Muslim's dua is Insha'Allah always accepted (hadith).

Allah knows best.
