What is the stance of Islam on the crucifixion of Jesus?

The Creating God is Ever-Living, All-Sustainer, All-Sufficient, and Omnipotent. He does not need to die crucified, while embodied in the form of Jesus, for the sake of mankind as the Christians believe. He is the Giver and Taker of life, hence, He did not die and he was not resurrected as well. He is the One who protected His Messenger, the Jesus Christ, from being killed and crucified just as He protected His Messenger Abraham from the fire, and protected Moses from the Pharaoh and his soldiers, as He always protects and saves His righteous slaves.
