I had heard about this while my friend was getting his master's degree in History of Religion in the 1970s

 What might surprise most Christians like myself is that in Islam Jesus is a very important Prophet. However, here is one of the biggest differences in how Islamic people's see the crucifiction and resurrection:

begin partial quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_in_Islam

According to the Quran, he was not crucified, but was rather saved by God. (Although the earliest Islamic traditions and exegesis quote somewhat conflicting reports regarding a death and its length, Muslims believe that Jesus did not die on the cross, but believe that he was saved by being raised alive to heaven).
