simple amplification of the Koran explication

Dear MSH, I am by no means a scholar of the Koran and really do not know precisely which Ausbau and which explication this refers to. But if it is a general translation you're looking for this might help.

"Just as the man is permitted talaq, so also is the woman permitted to take khula. In this matter as in all others, women and men have equal rights in Islam. In Surah Al Baqr (Section 228), there are five words which according to Maulana Abul Kalam Azad's explication of the Koran, altered the status of women for all time to come. The words are: Wa la hunna mislullazi alayhinna bil ma`ruuf. This means that (in matters of husn-e-suluk `beauteous treatment') women have the same rights over men as men have over women. In Section 229 of the same Ayat, a woman is permitted to end a tortuous married life by taking khula although she has to go through the Qazi, unlike the man who does not have to fulfil this condition."

setup of Koran interpretation

However, it is difficult to choose the best option for "setup" / "structure" or similar without more context (about which time and place etc.)
