I know nothing at all about my husband's finances and property. How do I prepare before the divorce process?

Start by gathering the information already in your hands, then get help to find the rest through lawful channels. Check documents at home such as bank statements, tax statements, takaful policies, loan letters and vehicle registration cards. Note the names of employers, businesses and accounts you have heard of. Do not break into your husband's phone or personal accounts; that can create legal problems for you. A syarie lawyer can explain how to request disclosure of financial information through the court. At the same time, build your own financial footing: open an account in your name and keep a little emergency money. See family finances.
