Truth against Falsehood is a common theme and there is no compromise by Allah in the Qur'an.

Truth vs Falsehood:

Allah depicts an extremely visual image of truth against falsehood in the Qur'an;


بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌ ۚ وَلَكُمُ الْوَيْلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ


We hurl the truth against falsehood (like a spear/arrow/rock), and the truth bashes its skull in. [Surah Anbiya 21:18]


Falsehood is trying to Run away from the truth, while the truth is attacking because of its greater strength. Then the skull of falsehood is smashed (and that is the strongest bone in the body).

That is the image Allah uses to describe Truth hitting Falsehood.
