The tradition of the ultimate victory of truth over falsehood is a fundamental concept in the Holy Quran, explicitly affirmed in numerous verses. However, differences in ontological foundations and interpretive approaches among contemporary exegetes have led to diverse explanations regarding the nature and mechanism of this divine tradition. This study conducts a comparative analysis of the perspectives of Allamah Muhammad Husayn Tabatabai in Tafsir al-Mizan and Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei in their commentaries on relevant verses, exploring the commonalities and distinctions between these two approaches. The research employs a qualitative, descriptive-analytical method, based on comparative content analysis of selected exegetical texts.

The findings reveal that both thinkers regard the tradition of truth’s triumph over falsehood as a ontological, inviolable, and inherent principle embedded in the structure of existence. However, Allamah Tabatabai primarily adopts a philosophical-ontological approach, while Ayatollah Khamenei examines it through a historical-civilizational lens. Tabatabai emphasizes the intrinsic permanence of truth and the inevitable perishability of falsehood as foundational principles, whereas Khamenei underscores the role of human agency—including willpower, struggle (mujahadah), piety (taqwa), and divine assistance in actualizing this tradition. By synthesizing these two approaches, this study opens new horizons for analyzing divine traditions in the context of Islamic civilization-building and offers a dynamic, Quranic understanding of history.
