The six-phase framework.
Islamic economic life design follows a sequence. Each phase builds capability and removes obstacles for the next. Skipping phases creates fragility. Following the sequence builds antifragility.
Start at Phase 1 if you are new. If you have already eliminated debt and established halal income, begin at Phase 4. The framework meets you where you are.
