Is there anything in Islam(i.e. Hadiths or Qur'an) that talks about the Scrolls of Abraham?

    There was a Book revealed to Abraham...

    "Abraham was the first to have a book. His book is mentioned in Al Qur'an 87:19, though it is now lost." - Abdullah Yusuf Ali's commentary.

    87:18. And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),-

    87:19. The Books of Abraham and Moses.

    Also,

    53:36. Nay, is he not acquainted with what is in the Books of Moses-

    53:37. And of Abraham who fulfilled his engagements?

    Edit:

    About Abraham's religion...ther religion he taught to his sons, and they taught to their sons:

    3:65-68

    Ye People of the Book! Why dispute ye about Abraham, when the Law and the Gospel Were not revealed Till after him? Have ye no understanding?

    Ah! Ye are those who fell to disputing (Even) in matters of which ye had some knowledge! but why dispute ye in matters of which ye have no knowledge? It is Allah Who knows, and ye who know not!

    Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was true in Faith, and bowed his will to Allah.s (Which is Islam), and he joined not gods with Allah.

    Without doubt, among men, the nearest of kin to Abraham, are those who follow him, as are also this Messenger and those who believe: And Allah is the Protector of those who have faith.

    No. The only original works to survive from that long ago are etched in something a bit more permanent. Even the dead sea scrolls, which have been dated to over 2,000 years ago, are copies. Added: The Isaiah Scroll (from the dead sea scrolls) is most interesting. Around a thousand (or so) years ago, a group of Jews called the Mesoretes produced an Old Testament text call the Mesoretic text. Their objective was to produce, as far as they were humanly able, the Old Testament in its original language: Hebrew. When the Isaiah Scroll was discovered and made available for study, comparison of it with the much later Mesoretic text revealed that there were very few differences, and that those that were present, were minor in detail. Claims that the original Biblical texts have been altered over time is largely exaggerated.

    I think both the first two answers are right.

    There is one book of Abraham's available but Muslims don't recognize the American prophet (who it was given to by Allah for translation) and people may not like what it says, although I don't' know why as it still has Allah as supreme God.
