As-Salaam alaikum,
Mustafa, the chosen one, is one of the names of our Master, Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam. As related in the Hadith by al-Hakim on the authority of Awf ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said that the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said :-
"For by Allah! I am the gatherer (Haashir) and the successor (Aaaqib). I am the Last (Muqafaa) and the chosen Prophet (an-Nabiy al-Mustafa)".
This means that he was the chosen one with Allah before the creation of everything, just as He chose him before the remaining Messengers. Allah Ta'ala says :
" Indeed Allah chose Adam, Noah, the family of Ibrahim and the family of Imran over all the worlds".
The expression 'to choose' is a synonym of to select and to elect. Thus, Allah elected their religion, the religion of Islam or He selected them for Prophet-hood above all the people of their times.
Our Master Muhammad, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, was the chosen one with Allah before He created all creation. He is the chosen one in this life and the Hereafter, as was related by Tirmidhi on the authority of Waa'ila that he, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said :-
"Verily Allah, Azza Wa Jallah, chose Isma'il from the childeren of Ibrahim. He chose the Banu Kinana from the childeren of Isma'il. He chose the Quraish from the Banu Kinana. He chose the Bani Hashim from the Quraish. Abd He chose me from the Banu Hashim".
