Explanation of the fact that Iblis was a Qadari

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: How was Iblis a Qadari?

Answer:
He did not attribute it to another; he said, “You have led me astray?” So he attributed the leading astray to Allah and did not attribute it to himself, saying, “He is the one who led astray?” Why is he the one who led astray? Because *ghay* (misguidance) is the opposite of *rushd* (right guidance). The Qur'an makes clear the distinction between *rushd* and *ghay*. So *ghay* is the opposite of *rushd*. Adam disobeyed his Lord, so the Qur'an attributed the leading astray to Adam (peace be upon him). The leading astray was the act of Adam, not the act of Allah (peace be upon him). Yes.
