Why is it necessary to follow a Math-hab?

Question

Why is it necessary to follow a Math-hab? From where did the Math-habs come? Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the Sahaabah did not follow any Math-hab. Where in the Qur'aan is the proof that Math-habs should be followed?

Answer

It is necessary to follow a Math-hab because it is necessary to follow Islam correctly according to the Sunnah. What is your evidence for claiming that Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the Sahaabah did not follow Math-habs? Math-habs came from Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). A math-hab which does not come from Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the Sahaabah, is not a valid Math-hab. Where in the Qur'aan and Hadith is the proof for not following Islam via a Math-hab? Where in the Qur'aan is it mentioned that we should perform 5 Fardh Salaat daily? Where in the Qur'aan is mention made of the thousands of masaa-il pertaining to all actions of Islam?
