Matt-ch 12:40 "For, as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the Fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth". This is supposed to be when Jesus was in the tomb for 3 days and 3 nights - but was it 3 days and 3 nights? Let's count: Friday night is 1 night, Saturday is 1 day, Saturday night is 1 night, Sunday morning he was out of the tomb. We have 2 nights and 1 day, not three days and three nights. If, however, you want to tell me Friday, Saturday, Sunday are the three days, I will add Friday night and Saturday night - this makes 3 days, but only 2 nights. No way out. What do you think? But please don't tell me the Jews consider 3 days and 3 nights as 3 days or some other funny period of time. Let's stick to the facts.

Was He crucified, yes! Is this the only question keeping you from The Truth? He was resurrected on the third day- but asked not to be touched as He had not ascended to heaven, where did He go before the Ascension?
John 20:19 Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled,[c] for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20 When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.
21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
24 Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.”
So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”
26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” 27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”

You're being too much of a stickler. Forget about the numbers and stick to belief.

JESUS (PBUH) SAID, "THE DAY THAT I DIE", NOT "THE DAY THAT I DIED"
It is mentioned in Surah Maryam, Chapter 19 verse 33
"So Peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die and the Day that I shall be raised up to life (again)".
[Al-Qur’an 19:33]
The Qur’an mentions that Jesus (pbuh) said "Peace is on me the Day I was born, the day that I die". It is not stated "the day that I died". It is in the future tense and not in the past tense.
1. JESUS (PBUH) WAS RAISED UP ALIVE
The Qur’an further says in Surah Nisa, Chapter 4 verse 157-158:
"That they said (in boast), ‘We killed Jesus Christ the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah’ – But they killed him not, Nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not –
Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is exalted in Power, Wise."
