Suhuf (Ibrahim and Musa)
Suhufi (Journals) of Ibrahim and Musa both described in the Quran at Surah An-Najm (Chapter 53) verses 36 to 62 and Surah Al-Ala (Chapter 87) verses 9 to 19. Surah An-Najm mentions detailed subject matters of the earlier Scriptures (Journals) of Ibrahim and Musa.
أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ بِمَا فِى صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِى وَفَّىٰٓ أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَـٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُۥ سَوْفَ يُرَىٰ ثُمَّ يُجْزَىٰهُ ٱلْجَزَآءَ ٱلْأَوْفَىٰ وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ وَأَنَّهُۥ خَلَقَ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ إِذَا تُمْنَىٰ وَأَنَّ عَلَيْهِ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰ وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغْنَىٰ وَأَقْنَىٰ وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلشِّعْرَىٰ وَأَنَّهُۥٓ أَهْلَكَ عَادًا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَثَمُودَا۟ فَمَآ أَبْقَىٰ وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ هُمْ أَظْلَمَ وَأَطْغَىٰ وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَةَ أَهْوَىٰ فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ هَـٰذَا نَذِيرٌ مِّنَ ٱلنُّذُرِ ٱلْأُولَىٰٓ أَزِفَتِ ٱلْـَٔازِفَةُ لَيْسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّـهِ كَاشِفَةٌ أَفَمِنْ هَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ تَعْجَبُونَ وَتَضْحَكُونَ وَلَا تَبْكُونَ وَأَنتُمْ سَـٰمِدُونَ فَٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِلَّـهِ وَٱعْبُدُوا۟
If he has not been informed of what is in the scriptures of Moses, (53:36) And of Abraham who discharged in full[...]: (53:37) That no bearer of burdens bears the burden of another, (53:38) And that man has not save that for which he strove, (53:39) And that his striving will be seen (53:40) — Then will he be rewarded with the fullest reward — (53:41) And that to thy Lord is the Finality, (53:42) And that it is He who makes laugh, and makes weep, (53:43) And that it is He who gives death, and gives life, (53:44) And that He created the two kinds — the male and the female — (53:45) From a sperm-drop when it was emitted, (53:46) And that upon Him is the next creation, (53:47) And that it is He who makes free from need and causes to possess, (53:48) And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius, (53:49) And that He destroyed the former ʿĀd, (53:50) And Thamūd He spared not, (53:51) And the people of Noah before — they were worse in wrongdoing, and worse in transgression — (53:52) And the overthrown cities He cast down, (53:53) And covered them with what He covered. (53:54) Then which of the blessings of thy Lord dost thou dispute? (53:55) This is a warner like the former warners.(53:56) The Drawing Near has drawn near. (53:57) There is none, besides God, to remove it. (53:58) Do you then marvel at this narrative, (53:59) And laugh, and not weep, (53:60) While you are puffed up in heedlessness? (53:61) But submit to God, and serve. (53:62)
Surah Al-Ala (Chapter 87) verses 9 to 19, concludes saying the subject matter of the surah has been in the earlier scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa. It is slightly indicative of what were in the previous scriptures, according to Islam:
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
So remind thou; if the reminder should benefit (87:9) He will take heed who fears. (87:10) But the most wretched will avoid it, (87:11) Who will burn in the Great Fire, (87:12) Then will he neither die therein nor live. (87:13) He is successful who has purified himself, (87:14) And remembers the name of his Lord and performs the duty. (87:15) The truth is, you prefer the life of this world (87:16) When the Hereafter is better and more enduring. (87:17) This is in the former scriptures, (87:18) The scriptures of Abraham and Moses. (87:19)
