CADARI, or KADARI, a sect of Mahometans, who assert free-will; attribute the actions of men to men alone, not to any secret power determining the will; and deny all absolute decrees, and predestination. The author of this sect was Mubed ben Kaled Al Gihoni, who suffered martyrdom for it. The word comes from the Arabic, cadara, power. Ben Aun calls the Cadarians the Magi, or Manichees of the Mussulmen.
