I was also told that there was a group, a break away that had this belief a long time ago, and they still exist in turkey but are a very small minority.
My brother in law converted and is now an allawi so I'm not sure about this non convert rule, I will have to ask.
The stars and Ali bing prince is non existent in our sect.
I reached the end of my studies 3 years ago, so if anything was true I would know. If it is still true, and they have not told me, it means there would be a handful of people who would believe this the more experienced sheikhs, if mainstream knew this, allawi would shrink dramatically. However, it is very unlikely a few would know this, I don't see the benefit. Either way, if I personally haven't heard it, I can guarantee 95% haven't heard it (if it is true, which im confident it is not)
final words, this is incorrect and false.
