Jummah Khutbah

Q:

1. In the Jumma Khutbah is it Sunnah to recite Taawwuz and Tasmiya before reciting the verse of the Quran?
2. In the Jumma Khutbah when reciting the verse of the Quran is it Sunnah to recite the verse of the Quran with Tajweed (with gunna and mad etc)?
3. When reciting the Arabic Khutbah in Jumma should the Arabic be recited with Tajweed and is it Sunnah to recite the Arabic with Tajweed?

A:

1. We have not come across any khutbah that contains ta`awwuz and tasmiyah.
2. It is preferable.
3. Yes. The tajweed here would refer to the right pronunciation.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
