Salamu Alaykum,
InshaAllah, they r not defeated. Allah s.v.a is on their side. And who can defeat the army that Allah s.v.a helps. Allah s.v.a destroyed pharao and his 1 million soldiers in a short time while saving Musa a.s (Moses) and benu israil (children of israel) who were much outnumbered and had nothing to defened themselves. Whenever muslims fought for the deen, they were never defeated. Imagine the sahaba, who fought in the battle of Mu'ti. It was 3000 sahaba against 124,000 romans. And with a Allah's sv.a help and strong iman, they defeated them.
