You need to read the book of Ibn Taimiyah: Al Aqeedah Al Wasitiyah and
other books that refute the claims of these deviant sects as cascading this would mean that all what is in the Quran can be a metaphors including the Angels, Devils, heavens and hell!
This way, nothing is taken for granted to mean what it means in Arabic because we think that it is all metaphorical. This is a very serious issue that would make people go astray as we see from the different sects and cults.
