Islamic Interpretation
Being threatened in a dream signifies triumph over an attacker, rival, or enemy, or it may indicate forming protection against potential harm coming from that direction. If the threat is issued by an unknown figure, it symbolizes Satan, especially when the warning concerns one’s prayers, acts of charity, or devotion. A threat seen in a dream can also point to the ordeals and challenges experienced in matters of love. (Also see Slapping on the cheek)
