There is no official teaching of illusion when it comes to Islam's view on the crucifixion
Is the Qur'an not official? -- all the ideas expressed in the Sura in question come from the Gnostic Docetists (his eluding of death by being raised up to Heaven while another one was crucified in his stead). -- that's what the word "dokeo" means in Greek: to seem or to appear as if.
And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. -- Sahih International.
but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of 'Iesa (Jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man) -- Muhsin Khan.
they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them -- Pickthall.
but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them -- Yusuf Ali.
and they did not kill him nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them so (like Isa) -- Shakir.
And in no way did they kill him, and in no way did they crucify him, but a resemblance of him was presented to them -- Dr. Ghali
