We were living in the village when I was young. The question arose about where I should be sent to learn the Quran. There was one masjid in the village where almost every Friday, there was a fight. The Barelwis wanted their Imam to be appointed in the masjid, and the Ghair Muqallid wanted their Imam to be appointed. And there was only one family from the Deobandi maslak, which didn’t have any say in any matter. Whenever the fights would prolong, then there wouldn’t be any Imam in the masjid for upto six months, and sometimes, two congregations would take place for prayers. My father would always remain worried about this. Finally, he decided that Ghair Muqallid are better in Tawheed (monotheism) than the Ahle Bidat (innovators), so we will have our son study with them. So, I was sent to a ghair muqallid Hafiz Saheb for learning the Quran.
