arent the ahle hadith supposed quite on the right path? as they follow only that which they get out of the Quran and hadith?

i am not eligible to answer if they are on right path or not

unfortunately they follow what they get out of it, while we have to follow, what we were taught to get out of it by Prophet

some argue, Allah says " Quran is made easy for you ". so why cant you understand by yourself

while the same Allah says in the same Quran, which nearly means " We have misled many with this quran "

thats the reason Prophet was sent to explain it and the Prophet said, "scholars are my inheritors" who will take farward his teachings.

so its un-imaginable that you take quran and understand it by yourself, if u do so, u will understand what you want, but not what Allah and his Prophet wants
