Muhtar Holland? Translations?

[EuropeanThinker]

as Salamu Alaikum,

Muhtar Holland << is he a reliable translator and are his works of Imam Abdul Qadir Jilani for example based on authentic manuscripts could someone comment on his Aqeedah aswell ,

Hopefully somebody who actually knows him can reply - that would probably be the best reply you could get after him himself seeing this thread and replying :P

I liked his translations (what I've read of them), except the prices :P. I have heard that he's an Athari in aqeedah and called as shaykh (so said a die-hard Ashari).

I like his translations, too. Except that it'll put a whole in ya pocket. His translations were among the first that I've read in Tazkiyyatun Nafs.

Is he still connected to Subud movement?

"Muhtar Holland was born in 1935, in the ancient city of Durham in the North East of England. This statement may be considered anachronistic, however, since he did not bear the name Muhtar until 1969, when he was moved-by powerful experiences in the latihan kejiwaan of Subud-to embrace the religion of Islam.
