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:
No. Joseph is a fictional character meant to set the israelite tribes in egypt, sold into slavery by his brothers and rising up from there. Akhenaten was born Amenhotep, younger son of Amenhotep, his older brother died, so he inherited the throne. If you spent even a little bit of time looking up Akhenatens life you probably wouldn't want to suggest that he was your silly prophet..but I won't spoil the surprise for you there.
Akhenaten died around 1334bc, which, if you're capable of doing some basic math, is a great deal before the 600s ad. So no, he wasn't your silly prophet, and wasn't worshipping your silly god.
