Dominant methodological rules and the importance of values and ethics in scientific paradigms are the main issues debated through scientific social responsibility. So, social responsibility of science is methodological and axiological foundations of any area of science that commitment to them reflects scholar's social responsibility. In western paradigms, social responsibility of science involved different and paradoxical foundations, while in the Islamic worldview, referring to reality and constructing social theory, are based on the Tawhidi epistemology. This harmony is the unconditional and unchangeable rule of Islamic thought. In the Islamic thought, human's responsibility in front of God (SWT), self and society are regarded as a value concept and all people, specifically, social scholars are considered responsible to construct their social world based on these types of concepts. These value concepts, beneficial science and Tawhidi epistemology make differences between scientific social responsibility in Islam and dominant paradigms of occidental sciences.
