Dr Bilal completed his primary education at Makunduchi, Zanzibar in 1958 and attended his secondary education at Beit-el-Ras in 1962 and later joined Lumumba Secondary School in Zanzibar.

Before completing Form Five, Dr Bilal received a scholarship to study physics at Howard University in Washington, graduating in physics and mathematics in 1967.
He earned an MA in physics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1969, and a PhD in physics in 1976.
 Later the same year he joined the [[University of Dar es Salaam as a lecturer in physics.
In 1983 he was elected head of the Department of Nuclear Physics.

In 1983 he participated to establish a national organization of radiation and contribute professional the preparation of draft of legislation which led to the law of use and control of the nuclear radiation in Tanzania.
