This paper discusses the phenomenon of a self-value crisis in the context of modern materialism, with a focus on the Prophet Muhammad’s ḥadīth concerning ‘abd al-dīnār (the slave of money). The study integrates a ḥadīth-based approach with contemporary social philosophy to understand the impact of monetary domination on individual identity and morality. The findings reveal that the ḥadīth offers a profound critique of material enslavement, while social philosophy highlights the structural mechanisms that reinforce consumerist culture. This paper recommends a renewal of spiritual and social consciousness as an effort to restore authentic self-value
