Peace!
According to my believe, God has unlimited holy attributes. Some are disclosed to us and others not. One of known divine attributes is Al-Razzaq -- The Provider.
He says in holy Quran:And there is no creature that moves on the earth but it is for Allah to provide it with sustenance. And He knows its place of temporary settlement and permanent abode. All this is recorded in clear Book. [11 : 7]
Through very interconnected system human and other creatures are provided provisions.Agricultre part of the crop is used by human and rest is eaten by animals.
God has granted physical sustenance to mankind and also sustenace for life-after. Spirituality and good deeds make the fundamental of provisions of Hereafter.
As i humbly believe, God sends Prophets to bestow spiritual nourishment. God sent the everlasting best spiritual nourishment through holy Quran and the holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him and all prophets) . The prophet foretold that the light came with him will continue in original form via his subserviant The promised reformer (Ahmadiyya refomer) . A reformer is being waited in all religions. This is one illumined example of spiritual provision.
And Allah sets forth the parable of a township which enjoyed security and peace; its provisions come to it in plenty from every quarter; but it denied the favours of Allah, so Allah made its dwellers taste a life wrapped in hunger and fear as a consequence of what they used to do. (16:113) ---- The verse cited tell about the famine which overtook Meccans when they mistreated the message and messenger and he was to leave the town. Later he prayed for them and their misery was over.
The lesson is general too and human need to come back to God for continuation of favours.
May everyone live in mercy of God.

How mean and vengeful from a god!
Peace!
Citation does not mean here someone did a fault there came the chastisement.
There is no compulsion in religion. surely the right way has become distinct fom error.....[ Quran ch-2, v-257]
When people insist on committing such acts which even from secular-justice point of view are not good, that is time when God interferes and make people taste a little of His unhappiness.
Please imagine, when early poor muslim men and women were torn apart just because they wanted to say God is One.( they self defended after 13-years of persecution) or early christains how they were treated and they were to hide in catacombs and how Moses and his people were chased to sea....Then God speaks. Speaks by His actions.
In general, religious desputes shall be dealt on the Hereafter. But consistent persecution of people of God is not tolerated too long. History of all religions testifies that.
There is a sad side too; when a religions spreads, after a long time from origin its followers get corrupted and tragedies start. Soon some people from clegy start act as little-gods. Unity of God is forgotten till the next reform.
