This the biggest contradiction in Islam by far and is very central to the idea of Christianity. So let's make it clear
The crucifixion of Jesus is considered a "bedrock" fact. Jewish, Christian, Roman, Atheist historians and theologists all agree with the fact that Jesus Christ was crucified infact the execution of Jesus of Nazareth under Pontius Pilate (Roman prefect of Judea, ~AD 26-36) is one of the most certain facts about his life alongside his baptism. This is considered a universal fact and is not even up for debate.
en.wikipedia.org
This is even confirmed by multiple different non Christian sources outside the gospel
Tacitus (Roman historian, Annals ~AD 116): "Christus, from whom the name [Christians] had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty [crucifixion] during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus."
Josephus (Jewish historian, Antiquities of the Jews ~AD 93): Refers to Jesus as a wise man executed by Pilate via crucifixion. Josephus also clarified James as "the brother of Jesus who was called the Christ."
And the all the sources i mentioned come from Roman, Jewish, and non Christian perspectives and they all independently reported the same event word for word as it was written in the gospels and arrived at the same conclusion. No ancient historian or even Christian haters that bashed jesus on his teachings like Celsus denied the crucifixion itself what they disagreed and disputed about was its meaning or the resurrection claims that followed.
We have even found Archaeological evidence supports the practice: 1st-century crucified remains (e.g., the heel bone of "Yehohanan" with a nail) confirm Roman crucifixion methods in Judea matched Gospel descriptions exactly
But Surah An-Nisa (4:157) directly conflicts with the historical evidence for Jesus's crucifixion.
You'll only find this in Islamic texts and nowhere else. The Quran is divine revelation and thus infallible, so earlier sources (Gospels, historical records) must be mistaken, corrupted (tahrif), or illusory as per 4:157 and overall there's 0 convincing explanation and argument given for this by Muslim scholars
Some Muslims argue the verse only denies that the Jews succeeded in killing Jesus (Romans carried it out), or that Jesus didn't truly "die" in a spiritual sense, or that the appearance was deceptive by divine act or that Jesus was substituted for someone else and some modern ones like certain Ahmadis or scholars like Shabir Ally in softer readings allow for a crucifixion that didn't result in permanent death. But all mostly deflections that non islamic scholars and historian simply reject

Christians see the crucifixion as central to atonement and prophecy fulfillment. The crucifixion of Christ is the main event in Christianity while Muslims see it as incompatible with a prophet's dignity and God's sovereignty so it remains a sensitive topic but that doesn't take away from the massive contraindication that exists in Quran. There are 2 more such contraindications that exist that I'll make. A thread about later
One of the biggest contradictions in Quran
In surah 9:30 The Jews say, โEzra is the son of Allah,โ while the Christians say, โThe Messiah is the son of Allah.โ Such are their baseless assertions, only parroting the words of earlier disbelievers. May Allah condemn them! How can they be deluded หนfrom the truthหบ? Prophet Muhammad claims...
