Makkah Al Mukarramah Library (Arabic: مَكْتَبَة مَكَّة ٱلْمُكَرَّمَة‎, romanized: Maktabah Makkah Al-Mukarramah) is a library near the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Since it is believed to stand on the spot where the Islamic prophet Muhammad was born, it is also known as Bayt al-Mawlid (Arabic: بَيْت ٱلْمَوْلِد‎, lit. 'House of the Birth').
