In this episode of Cultish, we sit down with James Rayment of The Al-Ma’idah Initiative to discuss the recent allegations surrounding Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light. We examine the growing controversy, the claims being made by former members and critics, and how these issues connect directly to the movement’s teachings and leadership structure. We also take a deep dive into The Goal of the Wise—one of the group’s foundational texts—and analyze how its theology, authority claims, and worldview relate to the allegations now coming to light. Are these incidents isolated problems, or are they consistent with the movement’s core doctrines and practices? 

This is a serious and important conversation exploring authority, spiritual abuse, cult dynamics, and discernment from a Christian worldview.
