It will be matching with God's claim to have created everything:
The ability is a creation. Choosing is a creation.
So his will is always preceding ours, we never choose but because he gave us the ability to choose. And even our choice is limited to what he created.
#note (just for fun): humans discovered ways to take away the ability to choose by injecting drugs and other materials into the target,
The ability to choose is a thing. The choices we make are things. If God created everything, then he created the choices we make. Therefore, we make no choices at all - they are all pre-made by God. God cannot logically give us the ability to choose and have made all of our choices. You can have one or the other, not both.

Yes, there is nothing we create or make that God hadn't willed for it to exist.
Take evil. Actually God himself inspires humans with both evil and good, but leaves the choice to the person:
Quote:Sura 91, The Quran:
https://quran.ksu.edu.sa/index.php?l=en#...rans=en_sh
( 7 ) And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it
( 8 ) And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness,
( 9 ) He has succeeded who purifies it,
( 10 ) And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].
He never tells you do the evil, but he tells you do good.
He made both the good and the evil. Put both in front of us. If you chose evil, you go to hell, if you chose good you go to paradise.
