God takes care of everyone whether they are good people or bad people.
90. God helps all. God takes care of everyone whether they are good people or bad people: God takes care of all of us irregardless of our actions in this life. He gave us freewill and does not force man to comply with His laws and ordinances. That does not mean that we won’t be held accountable for our actions in this life: JUDAISM: Proverbs: 24:12 “If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not He that pondereth the heart consider it? and He that keepeth thy soul, doth not He know it? and shall not He render to every man according to his works?” Job: 2:10 “What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?” 3:23 “Why is light given to a man whose way is hid?” 9:22 “He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.” We will be held accountable for our actions in this life, in the next life, be they good of bad; but in this life God will help us and give us the necessities we need for this world without forcing us to adopt His teachings, and this is because He gave us freewill. CHRISTIANITY: Matthew: 5:45 “That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” Luke: 6:35 “But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for He is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.”
BAHA’I FAITH: “In the eyes of The Creator all His children are equal; His goodness is poured forth on all.”
(Bahá’í Faith, Abdu’l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 138)
BABI RELIGION: “No refuge do I seek save God. Verily He is the guardian and the best supporter…” of all beings.
(The Bab, Selections from the Writings of the Bab, p. 20)
God does not choose to force His children to comply with His commands, in fact, God will assist us on which ever path we choose in order not to force us to bend to His decree: JUDAISM: Deuteronomy: 10:17 “For The LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward;” 10:18 “He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.” 10:19 “Love ye therefore the stranger.” Psalms: 125:5 “As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, The LORD shall lead them forth.” CHRISTIANITY: Luke: 6:35 “But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for (again) he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.” Hebrews: 13:6 “So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper.”
ISLAM: 64. “It is Allah (God) that delivereth you from these and all (other) distresses: and yet ye worship false gods!”
(The Qur’an (Yusuf Ali tr), Surah 6)
4. “To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: and He is Most High, Most Great. The heavens are almost rent asunder from above them (by His Glory): and the angels celebrate the Praises of their Lord, and pray for forgiveness for (all) beings on earth: Behold! Verily Allah is He, the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. And those who take as protectors others besides Him, Allah doth watch over them (as well); and thou art not the disposer of their affairs.”
(The Qur’an (Yusuf Ali tr), Surah 42)
“The Prophet said, “None is more patient than Allah against the harmful and annoying words He hears (from the people): They ascribe children to Him, yet He bestows upon them health and provision.”
(Hadith, Bukhari Vol 9, Book 93, # 475)
ZOROASTRIANISM: 29. “Thou (Ahura/God),.….art both bad and good to nations; Thou,….art both bad and good to men;”

HINDUISM: “By this sign is He known Being of equal grace to comrades, friends, Chance-comers, strangers, lovers, enemies, Aliens and kinsmen; loving all alike, Evil or good.”
(Hindu, Bhagavad Gita (Edwin Arnold tr) chapter 6)
BUDDHISM: “The sun radiates its splendor spontaneously on all alike and with no words of explanation; in like manner do the Tathagatas radiate the Truth of Noble Wisdom with no recourse to words and to all alike.” (Buddha, Lankavatara Sutra)
SABEANISM: “It will be given. Day by day, hour by hour (Assistance).” (God) takes care of all whether good or bad. “Thou, Manda-d-Hiia, callest the caller, nourishest the nourisher, buildest the builder.” (Sabeanism, Ginza Rba- chapter 76)
BABI RELIGION: “Whatever evidence of bounty is witnessed in the world, is but an image of His bounty; and every thing owes its existence to His Being.” Whether good or bad.
(The Bab, Selections from the Writings of the Bab, p. 100)
BAHA’I FAITH:“It would be impossible to find an artist who does not love his own production. Have you ever seen a man who did not love his own actions? Even though they be bad actions, he loves them. How ignorant, therefore, the thought that God, Who created man, educated and nurtured him, surrounded him with all blessings, made the sun and all phenomenal existence for his benefit, bestowed upon him tenderness and kindness and then did not love him. This is palpable ignorance, for no matter to what religion a man belongs, even though he be an atheist or materialist, nevertheless, God nurtures him, bestows His kindness and sheds upon him His light.”
(Bahá’í Faith, Abdu’l-Baha, The Promulgation of Universal Peace)
“The second teaching of Bahá’u’lláh concerns the unity of mankind. All are the servants of God and members of one human family. God has created all and all are His children. He rears, nourishes, provides for and is kind to all. Why should we be unjust and unkind? This is the policy of God, the lights of which have shone throughout the world. His sun bestows its effulgence unsparingly upon all, His clouds send down rain without distinction or favor, His breezes refresh the whole earth. It is evident that humankind without exception is sheltered beneath His mercy and protection. Some are imperfect; they must be perfected. The ignorant must be taught, the sick healed, the sleepers awakened. The child must not be oppressed or censured because it is undeveloped; it must be patiently trained. The sick must not be neglected because they are ailing; nay, rather, we must have compassion upon them and bring them healing. Briefly; the old conditions of animosity, bigotry and hatred between the religious systems must be dispelled and the new conditions of love, agreement and spiritual brotherhood be established among them.”
(Bahá’í Faith, Abdu’l-Baha, Baha’i World Faith – Abdu’l-Baha Section, p. 239)
