Are the Mu'tazilah and the Qadariyyah one sect, or two?

Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: Are the Mu'tazilah and the Qadariyyah one sect, or two?

Answer:
They are the Qadariyyah. The Mu'tazilah are the Qadariyyah. It has become the convention that when the Qadariyyah are mentioned, the Mu'tazilah are meant. Although the term Qadariyyah includes both the Jabriyyah and the Mu'tazilah. Because these people denied it, and these people exaggerated in affirming it. That is, they are called Qadariyyah because they all went astray regarding the divine decree. So they are called Qadariyyah, but when distinguishing, a difference is made between the denying Qadariyyah, who are called the denying Qadariyyah, and the Jabriyyah, who are called the exaggerating Qadariyyah. Pay attention to the difference between the denying Qadariyyah and the Jabriyyah, and the exaggerating Jabriyyah. Yes, the exaggerating Qadariyyah are the Jabriyyah. Yes.
