Would the biblical Abraham, Moses and Jesus convert to Islam?

They were "Muslim" (ones submitting their free-will to the will of God).
They are also exemplary prophets in Islam - ones Muslims are meant to take an example from.

Of course, if you know that Islam is basically submission (giving up) to God - believing that there is no god except God. Then you are Muslim.

then, of course, there are the commandments - so these were slightly different in the days of Abraham a.s. (a pure monotheist predating Judaism), Moses a.s. (prophet for the jewish people) and Jesus a.s. (prophet for the jewish people).

e.g. - they could drink alcohol as long as they didn't get drunk
- they only needed to pray 3 times daily - not 5
- they must fast one or two days in the year - not a whole month
- etc

p.s.
In the Gospel of Luke - Jesus a.s. is recorded saying that he is "muslim"
"Ein talmeed na'leh 'al rabbo; shekken kal adam she'MUSHLAM yihyeh k'rabbo."
[Luke 6:40]

so - when the meaning of the word is understood - you will have no problem realising that these prophets (peace be upon them all) were some of the best Muslims.

In the name of the Most Merciful Merciful God
Praise God Lord of the Worlds

There's no god except the One God
He has no partners
the Kingdom and Praise are His
He gives life and brings death
He is living and does not die
all good is in His hand
and He is in control of everything

Glorify God
and Praise God
There's no god except God
God is greater
There's no power nor might except in the High and Mighty God

I was from the wrongdoers
I seek God Almighty's forgiveness

Sufficient is God
There's no god except He
I trust in Him
He is Lord of the Great Throne

O God
send prayers upon Muhammad and Muhammad's family
as you sent prayers upon Abraham and Abraham's family
O God
send blessings upon Muhammad and Muhammad's family
as you sent blessings upon Abraham and Abraham's family
O God
send mercy upon Muhammad and Muhammad's family
as you sent mercy upon Abraham and Abraham's family
Indeed You are Praiseworthy, Majestic

O God indeed I have wronged myself many wrongs

And no one forgives wrongs except You

So forgive me a forgiveness from Yourself

Indeed You are the Forgiving Merciful

O God I ask for Your love

And the love of those You love

And love of the poor

And love of the actions that bring me closer to Your love

O GOD

I ask for beneficial knowledge

Good provisions

And accepted actions

I seek protection with the immense face of God
there is nothing greater than it
and I seek protection with the perfect words of God
no good or corrupt person can exceed them
and I seek protection with the most beautiful names of God
those I know and those I do not know
from the evil He created, originated and multiplies
