"Kalilah and Dimnah" ... Is the stress on the last syllable or the penultimate? If it's on the last syllable, is the "h" pronounced? (ex. like the Greek chi)
In KALILAH, the stress is on the second syllable. In DIMNAH, the stress is on the first syllable. There is no real H in either name. Both names end with silent T (written, but not pronuounced).

when I see Arabic names transcribed in English with an h at the end, are they usually stressed on a particular syllable or not necessarily?
As you can see from the two examples above, there is no single general rule.
But one more point: Not every final H in a phonetic Latin rendition functions the same way. Sometimes it is in lieu of a silent T (as in FATIMAH), but sometimes it is a real H, as in NABEEH.
And sometimes the H stands for the sixth letter of the alphabet, which is softer than the German CH, as in the name AFRAH.
The bottom line is that there is no simple rule of the thumb.
