Things Chosen for Our Own Good: Human Choice vs. Divine Decree

Life involves both personal choices (like clothing, food, and vehicles) and circumstances beyond our control.
Matters not chosen by us are ultimately determined by Allah (SWT).
Examples of things decided by Allah include: gender at birth, the family one is born into, and one's parents and lineage.
Our souls existed and acknowledged Allah's Lordship in the spiritual realm before our worldly birth.
Muslims have a prescribed "uniform" based on Sunnah, such as wearing a topi (cap), distinguishing them from other communities.
Even the burial shroud (kafan) is universally white, a choice not made by humans.
Human lineage originates from Prophet Adam (AS), not apes, underscoring the inherent dignity bestowed by Allah.
