Since childhood, I have been taught about the Satan. Satan is a creature of the unseen and its task is to tempt humans to deny Allah. They're the real enemy to all humans. But when I read Surah Al-Maidah verse 5:90, it mentions among the deeds of Satan, drinking alcohol, gambling, idol worship, and seeking omens. These are all actions performed by humans, not by unseen beings, let alone those whose specific task is to tempt the mankind. So is that mean the Satan is actually referred to real humans physically, and the actual meaning of the clear enemy (mubeen) is the visible enemy in front of our eyes, which humans can clearly and distinctly recognize?
