The Suhuf-i-Ibrahim (Scrolls of Abraham) (Arabic: صحف ابراهيم) are part of the religious scriptures of Islam. They are now believed to be lost.

In two suras, which are to be dated from the first Meccan period, there is a reference to the 'leaves, scrolls' (suhuf) of Abraham and Moses, by which presumably texts of revelation are meant (87:18-19; 53:36-37). The contents of this revelation is not known from the Qur'an.
