What is the belief of the Qadariyyah?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the belief of the Qadariyyah?

Answer:
The Qadariyyah are divided into two groups. One group denies the qadar (divine decree); they are the Mu'tazilah. They exaggerate regarding the actions of servants, claiming that servants do them by their own choice, and that Allah has no decree or plan in them.
They deny the qadar, so they are called the Qadariyyah al-Nafiyah (the deniers). The second group is the Qadariyyah al-Ghulati (the extremists), who exaggerated in affirming the qadar to the point of saying that the servant has no choice. The Mu'tazilah say he has an independent choice, so they exaggerate in affirming the actions of servants. The Jabriyyah are the opposite; they exaggerate in denying the actions of servants.
They say the servant is compelled and has no action; he is like a dead body in the hands of the washer, or like a feather moved by the wind, having no understanding. They exaggerate in affirming the qadar to the point of stripping the servant of his choice and his action. They are at two opposite extremes. Yes.
