What is the meaning of: "The command is new"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh. The questioner asks: What is the meaning of "the command is new"? And may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It means that it was not previously decreed to be new; rather, it is an innovation and was not previously decreed. This is the statement of the Qadariyyah (a sect that denied divine decree). They say, "The command is new; it was not previously decreed by Allah, and Allah did not write it, and Allah did not bring it into existence." No, they do not believe in this. Yes.
