Should I read hizmet books. Are they authentic and correct teachings?

Question

I have been reading books off of the website hizmetbooks.org (hakikat bookstore, instanbul). I am wondering if these books are authentic and whether I should be reading them. For example, there is a book called "Confessions of a British Spy" that says muhammed bin abdul wahhab was influenced by a british spy. The other books are very pro-taqleed and very anti- la maddhabi. Please let me know whether I should pursue reading some of these books and PLEASE STATE WHY OR WHY NOT.

Answer

We are unaware of the exact contents of these books and are therefore unable
to offer any comment.

#18609Is the book Kitab-ul-fitan by Shk Nu'aim bin Hummad authentic? Also, I read at http://www.muftisays.com/archive/topic/hanafi-fiqh/2179/, that nuaim bin hammad attacked Imam abu hanifa (RA) and fabricated stories about him. ..
#12839Please give authentic hadith/quran verse that state that our book of deeds and other claims such as what fortunes and mishaps are open/cloosed on Shabe Bharat.
#7694It is stated that Umar used to say that “a sackcloth in the corner of the house is better than a beautiful but barren woman.” (Bennat, 1987). Are these correct and authentic hadith?
#18094I still feel confused about this because you gave examples of imam shafi'i's and imam Abu hanifa's teaching about bleeding and wudu. Why is it that we have to follow a single imam?
#16097I would be very much greatfull if you could kindly advise me on .. "Shaykh al-Albaanee's advice to the Jamaa'ah at-Tableegh"
#13829If one forgets to read Qanoot in the 3rd rakat of witar, how can the witar be corrected?
#15332I don’t find any Quranic verse or hadith describing Tabligh jamaath as being the one correct path that leads to Jannah
#8524Is it permissible to read certain books? Should I keep away from certain people, or give them Dawah?

Something wrong with this record?
