The answer

The sermon should be eloquent and articulate, free from vulgar and colloquial terms. It is recommended that it be well-structured and clear, without exaggeration or artificiality. Its words should be weighty and understandable, not obscure, so that its purpose is achieved and it resonates fully with people. The preacher should avoid colloquialisms to elevate people to an understanding of the eloquence and rhetoric of the Quran.
