Election

God’s sovereign personal choice. majaliwa (an Arabic-derived term for fate/destiny/what is decreed, closely tied to the Islamic concept of al-qadar, divine predetermination) is a legitimate parallel concept but should be introduced only with explicit definition, since Reformed election in Romans 9 is personal and relational, not the more fatalistic and impersonal associations majaliwa can carry in popular usage. bahati (luck) must never substitute.
