[Quranic Reflection]: The Aten.

[Quranic Reflection]: The Aten.
An ancient Egyptian pharaoh called "Akhenaten", worshiped a "single God" described as the "light of heaven and earth"; or the "Aten" in Ancient Egypt:

This Monolithic pharoah didn't stop at that; he even called the Gods of ancient Egypt "a lie"; in a fashion identical to Jesus, Mohammed, and Moses before them.
Isn't that Muslims' faith? "There is no God but Allah"?

Ironically, he was the husband of the famous "Nefertiti" too.

Is this pharaoh the prophet known to Muslims and Christians as "Joseph; peace be upon him"?
Joseph PBUH in the Quran. was a slave bought by an Egyptian ruler, got appointed as the ruler's son, then became a royalty.

I do believe that Akhaneten is following the same deity as Muslims.
The light of heaven and earth:


Quote:Surah 24, The Quran:
https://quran.com/24?startingVerse=35

(35) Allah is the Light of the heavens and earth. The likeness of His light is that of a niche in which is a lamp; the lamp is in a glass; the glass is like a shining star – it is lit by [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, which is neither of the east nor of the west. Its oil would almost glow, even without being touched by fire. Light upon light; Allah guides to His light whom He wills. Allah sets forth comparisons for people, and Allah is All-Knowing of everything.
