1.                 The Qur’aan indicates that Ya’qoob gave final instructions to his sons before he died. “… he said unto his sons, ‘What will you worship after me?’ They said, ‘We shall worship your Ilaah (God — Allaah) the Ilaah (God) of your fathers, Ibraaheem (Abraham), Ismaa‘eel (Ishmael), Ishaaq (Isaac), One Ilaah (God), and to Him we submit (in Islam).’” [al-Baqarah 2:133 – interpretation of the meaning].

2.                 The scripture of Ibraaheem is mentioned in Soorat al-A’laa 87:19 (interpretation of the meaning): “The Scriptures of Ibraaheem (Abraham) and Moosa (Moses)”; and in Soorat al-Najm 53:36-37 (interpretation of the meaning): “Or is he not informed with what is in the Pages (Scripture) of Moosa (Moses), And of Ibraaheem (Abraham) who fulfilled (or conveyed) all that (Allaah ordered him to do or convey).”

3.                 The country with the largest Muslim population in Africa is Nigeria, and in Asia, Indonesia. The Indonesians became Muslim through contact with Muslim traders from Hadramawt as is well known. Perhaps this is what the questioner wanted to know, even though the question is not quite clear.
