Islamic scholars generally believe that the Jews made real attempt to kill Jesus by crucifixion, but Allah rescued him. So, they argue that according to Quran Jesus didn’t die by crucifixion but another person took his place.
The verse of the Quran that is often used by Islamic scholars is Q 4:157, and for boasting, “We killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.” But they neither killed nor crucified him—it was only made to appear so. Even those who argue for this ˹crucifixion˺ are in doubt. They have no knowledge whatsoever—only making assumptions. They certainly did not kill him. The next verse Q 4:158 concludes[i] but Allah raised him to Himself. Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise[/i] [Quran.com]. The attempted crucifixion has led to the idea among some Muslims that Jesus was raised bodily to heaven and will come back again. However, this is controversial as some Muslims assert no evidence supports the second coming of Jesus in the Quran.

There is one major difference between the account of crucifixion in the Bible and the Quran. The biblical account was written by people who witnessed it while the account in the Quran was given as a revelation.
1. Jesus mentioned how he was going to die John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up, John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth…
2. It was recorded that Jesus was indeed crucified: Matthew 27:35 And they crucified him (Jesus), Mark 15:24 And when they had crucified him (Jesus), Luke 23:31…which is called Calvary, there they crucified him (Jesus), and John 19:18 Where they crucified him (Jesus)…
3. Jesus disciple (Peter) talking about Jesus, Acts 2:22 …and by wicked hands have crucified and slain, Acts 4:10 …that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified…
4. Jesus disciple (Paul) preached about it, I Corinthians 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified… the Bible is replete with the subject of Christ crucifixion, will be too many to mention.

The latter part of Q 4:157 “…Even those who argue for this ˹crucifixion˺ are in doubt. They have no knowledge whatsoever—only making assumptions; couldn’t have been referring to Christians because there was no doubt of any kind about Jesus crucifixion among the Christians.

From a revelational perspective Q 4:157-158 may not actually be countering Jesus crucifixion but just underlying the overall failure of the Jews action on Jesus. It’s written in the Quran that the Jews were boasting they killed Jesus, this could simply means it was Jesus that was actually crucified not another person. But what is the essence of boasting about crucifying Jesus that was raised and went to heaven bodily. So, the statement “it was only made to appear so” could mean Jesus actually died by crucifixion which would have satisfied the Jews, however, was later raised back to life. So, Quran may not actually counter crucifixion of Jesus but speaks from a revelational perspective.
Finally, since the crucifixion account in the Quran is revelational not a direct account as in the Bible, there is need for conscientious effort in its interpretation to counter direct accounts in the Bible. A revelatonal account of an event most often places more emphasis on the impact of the event rather than the occurrence of the event itself.
