Qadariyya
Qadariyah (or Qadariyyah), in Islam, are supporters of the doctrine of free will. The word Qadar is derived from the Qadr (power or rights).
Qadariyyah was one of the first schools of philosophical thought in Islam. the Doctrine espoused notions of rationalism and contained elements of Greek philosophy. Qadaris argue that God gave man free will, without which one cannot be fully responsible for one's actions. Free also means that God cannot know the actions of a man in advance. Qadaris also refuse other core tenants of the Sunni belief, including belief in the punishment of the grave. They also deny that a hadith is authentic proof to establish an Islamic aqeedah in the proposal if it is transmitted as mutawatir.
The Qadariyah were censored by many leaders throughout Islamic history, including the Ghaznavid rule, Sebük tigin for what is considered their bidah (a practice newly invented in the Islamic faith). Because of their doctrines which were dissident and unconventional, not only were they heavily criticized by Sunni scholars like Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani and Ibn Taymiyyah, but they were also rebuked by the companions of Muhammad (pbuh)
