Shaykh Muḥammad Ṣāliḥ al-'Uthaymīn رحمه الله said: "The fasting person should also thank Allah for blessing them to be able to see this month. Many people could not reap the benefits of this month because they passed away before it came, or they are not performing the obligations of this month. So they should thank Allah for giving them the chance to receive forgiveness, and uplifting in status." ‎● [مجالس شهر رمضان]
