Dreaming of being defeated in Islam means victory, but also death or great losses.
Victory in disguise
If a believer sees himself defeated in a dream, it may mean that he will soon win a battle against his enemy, symbolically clothed in his courage and determination.
Danger of death
If the dreamer sees himself defeated without feeling fear, this can sometimes be associated with
danger of death or great loss.
Victory despite chaos
Seeing soldiers retreating to take refuge in a city can symbolize a final victory, even if the cause defended is unjust or tyrannical. However, this victory often comes with negative consequences to bear.
Justice triumphant
On the other hand, if the soldiers of a righteous ruler enter a city defeated, this usually predicts final victory over their enemies.
