[Quranic Reflection]: The Aten.

[WinterHold]

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:

‘Aten’ refers to the disc of the sun (deified), it doesn’t mean ‘the light of heaven and earth’ in any sense.

And, considering  what happened to Atenism after the pharaoh’s death, he pretty clearly backed the wrong horse.

Aten is the light, see here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aten

Aten was considered to have been everywhere and intangible as Aten was the sunlight and energy in the world. Therefore, he did not have physical representations that other traditional ancient Egyptian gods had, instead represented via the sun disc and reaching rays of light.

BTW Muslims too do not "draw God" or "represent him" through Anthropomorphism.

The same description of Allah being everywhere is present in Islam too.
