This work explored the local wisdom values present within the classical manuscripts of Latoa and within Muhammadan tradition, employing descriptive qualitative and library approaches. A literature review was conducted to analyze primary data in the Latoa Classical Manuscript and Muhammadan Tradition in the Hadīh Books, and also to explore secondary data in various contemporary sources. Data were collected using note reading techniques with the assigning of codes. Each text was read in-depth and carefully categorized. This was followed by a reduction stage to select and sort the data. Finally, data were analysed through application of the Talcott Parsons’ theory on functionalism and structuralism. This study concluded that the values of local civilization contained in Luqman al-Hakim’s conception are teppe (faithful), isseng (knowledgeable), gau patujue (of good conduct), and sirie` (dignified). The “Sparkling Pearls” conception suggested by Luqman al-Hakim in the Latoa Manuscripts has great relevancy to developing functional structures of society, emphasizing the ethics of hard work, building character based on nationalism, and developing human behavior for better social interactions.
To explore the local wisdom values within the Latoa Classical Manuscript and Muhammadan tradition, specifically Luqman al-Hakim's "Sparkling Pearls" conception, and determine its relevance for developing Islamic ethos.
Descriptive qualitative research approach utilizing a library study/analysis. Primary data sources were the Latoa Classical Manuscript (written in Bugis language, containing advice from wise men/kings spanning the 13th to 18th centuries AD) and Hadith Books (al-kutub al-sittah). Secondary data involved contemporary sources. Data collection involved note reading and coding, followed by reduction, selection, sorting, and analysis using Talcott Parsons' theory of functionalism and structuralism.

The study argues that classical advice, particularly from the Latoa Manuscript and Hadith literature, can effectively develop the affective elements in character education, addressing contemporary moral crises. The integration of Islamic values (sarak) into the Bugis life guidance system (pangngaderreng) demonstrates a successful structural adaptation, aligning with Parsons' functionalism theory where social structures maintain stability by fulfilling their functions according to social values. The four "Sparkling Pearls" pillars directly correlate with key Islamic ethos indicators, such as faith (iman), understanding (isseng vs. acca), good character (akhlaq), and dignity (al-hayaa').
The local civilization values embedded in Luqman al-Hakim's "Sparkling Pearls" conception in the Latoa Manuscript are: teppe (faithful), isseng (knowledgeable), gau patujue (of good conduct), and siri'e (dignified). These values show strong conformity and relevance to the ethics and principles found in Hadith traditions, supporting the development of functional societal structures, emphasizing hard work ethics, nationalism-based character building, and improved social interactions.
Luqman al-Hakim's "Sparkling Pearls" conception (teppe, isseng, gau patuju, siri'e) provides a valuable, contextually relevant model for developing Islamic ethos and character education within local civilization frameworks. Classical manuscripts can serve as a primary source for moral values in family guidance, ensuring the sustainability of Islamic civilization by shaping the ethos of the younger generation.
