Does "Qadha Rabbuka" in the verse mean "He decreed and determined," as the Qadariyyah say?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He):
And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Himوَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ
[Al-Isra 17:23]
, the Qadariyyah (a sect that denied divine decree) say that the meaning of "qada" (divine decree) is "He judged" and "He decreed." Do the Qadariyyah deny the worship of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)?

Answer:
They deny it, or they do not deny it, but if they interpret the verse in this way, that is an error and misguidance. Yes.
