He bears the title 'Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques,' a title he and his noble brothers before him embraced. It is a fitting title, for they have never faltered in their service to the Two Holy Mosques, day or night, striving to develop them into places that offer the comfort, luxury, and refinement of modern civilization alongside a spiritual and religious value unmatched anywhere else. King Salman says with pride, 'I am now the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, and whoever serves the Two Holy Mosques serves his religion and his country.'

He is also known by a title that reflects a defining trait of his character: The King of Decisiveness and Determination. Decisiveness is the resolve to act, and this has been his hallmark in almost all his affairs, to the point where the word itself evokes his image, words, and deeds. Whenever decisiveness is mentioned, it brings his actions to mind. This title gained widespread media prominence after he answered the distress call of brotherly Yemen shortly after ascending to the throne. He launched 'Operation Decisive Storm,' mobilizing an army to defend a people who had long suffered under the yoke of injustice at the hands of those who sow only discord. He stated, 'In the context of the Kingdom's commitment to its duties toward brotherly nations and its support for them, Operation Decisive Storm was launched with the participation of several Arab and Islamic countries, at the request of the legitimate government of Yemen. Its purpose was to save the country from a faction that rebelled against its legitimacy, undermined its security and stability, sought hegemony, and sowed discord in the region. They threatened the security of neighboring countries, primarily the Kingdom, while implementing regional agendas that seek to interfere in the internal affairs of Arab states by turning Yemen into a hotbed of sectarian conflict.'
