Explanation in standard Arabic : بين = bayna...means: between من بين = min bayni...means: among قبل = qabla...means : before من قبل = min qabli "as a preposition" and at the end of the sentence pronounced (min qabl) "as adverb"....means : before "as adverb" , previously Example : I haven't seen this before. = انا لم ارى هذا من قبل Well, (qabla and min qabli) both mean "before" as prepositions, but it's not common to use (min qabli) as a preposition. More common to use it as adverb. Hope that was helpful, If you still have misunderstanding please let me know :) Good luck!

In meaning there is no difference between بين - من بين or بعد - من بعد the difference is from grammatical side .

Yes it's originally in Arabic that من بعد is used . A little correction MIN QABLI not QABLA , same for MIN BA3DI , cause MIN is حرف جر what's after it must end with JARRA
