Mocking is mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

[2:14] When they meet the believers, they say, “We believe,” but when alone with their devils, they say, “We are with you; we were only mocking.”

[2:67] Moses said to his people, “God commands you to sacrifice a heifer.” They said, “Are you mocking us?” He said, “God forbid, that I should behave like the ignorant ones.”

[6:53] We thus test the people by each other, to let them say (mockingly), “Are these the people among us who are blessed by God?” Is God not aware of the appreciative ones?

[9:65] If you ask them, they would say, “We were only mocking and kidding.” Say, “Do you realize that you are mocking God, and His revelations, and His messenger?”

[11:8] And if we delay the retribution they have incurred – for we reserve it for a specific community – they say, “What is keeping Him?” In fact, once it comes to them, nothing can stop it, and their mocking will come back to haunt them.

[18:106] Their just requital is Hell, in return for their disbelief, and for mocking My revelations and My messengers.

[63:5] When they are told, “Come let the messenger of God pray for your forgiveness,” they mockingly turn their heads, and you see them repel others and act arrogantly.
