Abstract: The worldwide phenomenon of globalization has given rise to an individualistic and materialistic way of life. Material gains become a benchmark for measuring human pleasure and success. Consequently, social tolerance, ukhuwah Islamiyyah, and human values are gradually declining. Therefore, considering the humanitarian issues of the globalization era, balanced spiritual and material development is required to fill the vacuum in the human soul through divine ideals. In this light, finding a sheikh to mentor and help one get closer to God is advised, and this calls for the discipline of tarekat tasawuf in life as well as spiritual development. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of Tarekat Tasawuf Sheikh as a successful communicator on the spiritual growth of tarekat practitioners. Using a descriptive qualitative methodology, this study explores the idea of Islamic communicators and explains academics’ perspectives on sheikh tarekat tasawuf. Consequently, it has been determined that sheikh tarekat plays five functions in helping the tarekat practitioners of Negeri Sembilan improve spiritually and serves as an efficient communicator in this process.
