verse 38 of chapter 2. البقرة in the Holy Quran
قُلنَا اهبِطوا مِنها جَميعًا ۖ فَإِمّا يَأتِيَنَّكُم مِنّى هُدًى فَمَن تَبِعَ هُداىَ فَلا خَوفٌ عَلَيهِم وَلا هُم يَحزَنونَ
We said: \"Get ye down all from here; and if, as is sure, there comes to you Guidance from me, whosoever follows My guidance, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
What if they lived in a jungle or a desert and they never heard the message?
There are at least two examples:
وَكَذٰلِكَ نُرى إِبرٰهيمَ مَلَكوتَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضِ وَلِيَكونَ مِنَ الموقِنينَ
So also did We show Abraham the power and the laws of the heavens and the earth, that he might (with understanding) have certitude.
فَلَمّا جَنَّ عَلَيهِ الَّيلُ رَءا كَوكَبًا ۖ قالَ هٰذا رَبّى ۖ فَلَمّا أَفَلَ قالَ لا أُحِبُّ الءافِلينَ
When the night covered him over, He saw a star: He said: \"This is my Lord.\" But when it set, He said: \"I love not those that set.\"
فَلَمّا رَءَا القَمَرَ بازِغًا قالَ هٰذا رَبّى ۖ فَلَمّا أَفَلَ قالَ لَئِن لَم يَهدِنى رَبّى لَأَكونَنَّ مِنَ القَومِ الضّالّينَ
When he saw the moon rising in splendour, he said: \"This is my Lord.\" But when the moon set, He said: \"unless my Lord guide me, I shall surely be among those who go astray.\"
فَلَمّا رَءَا الشَّمسَ بازِغَةً قالَ هٰذا رَبّى هٰذا أَكبَرُ ۖ فَلَمّا أَفَلَت قالَ يٰقَومِ إِنّى بَريءٌ مِمّا تُشرِكونَ
When he saw the sun rising in splendour, he said: \"This is my Lord; this is the greatest (of all).\" But when the sun set, he said: \"O my people! I am indeed free from your (guilt) of giving partners to Allah.
إِنّى وَجَّهتُ وَجهِىَ لِلَّذى فَطَرَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضَ حَنيفًا ۖ وَما أَنا۠ مِنَ المُشرِكينَ
\"For me, I have set my face, firmly and truly, towards Him Who created the heavens and the earth, and never shall I give partners to Allah.\"
Quran 6:75-79
-------------
He guides whom He pleases, and He guides those within whom He finds good, where the stain of evil hasn't overwhelmed the good, would even the man in the jungle not be expected to observe fairness and justice from his natural disposition? Let alone the man in the city who receives the book in his hands:
verse 18 of chapter 39. الزمر in the Holy Quran
الَّذينَ يَستَمِعونَ القَولَ فَيَتَّبِعونَ أَحسَنَهُ ۚ أُولٰئِكَ الَّذينَ هَدىٰهُمُ اللَّهُ ۖ وَأُولٰئِكَ هُم أُولُوا الأَلبٰبِ
Those who listen to the Word, and follow the best in it: those are the ones whom Allah has guided, and those are the ones endued with understanding.
------
verse 23 of chapter 8. الأنفال in the Holy Quran
وَلَو عَلِمَ اللَّهُ فيهِم خَيرًا لَأَسمَعَهُم ۖ وَلَو أَسمَعَهُم لَتَوَلَّوا وَهُم مُعرِضونَ
If Allah had found in them any good. He would indeed have made them listen: (As it is), if He had made them listen, they would but have turned back and declined (Faith).
-------
And finally, I assume you'll go back to worrying about the man in the jungle who didn't see or hear, or the son of bush, the best answer to give is the answer of Moses to pharaoh when he asked of the condition of the previous generations, God Knows best.
But there is a small glimmer of hope for you, maybe see if you fall into any of the categories in the checklist:
The Pen is Lifted From Three
The Messenger of Allah (صلي الله عليه وسلم) said: “The Pen is lifted from three (i.e., their deeds are not recorded):
a child until he reaches puberty;
an insane man until he comes to his senses;
one who is asleep until he wakes up.”
[Recorded in Abu Dawud #4403, and Ibn Majah #2041]
