God doesn't joke, laugh, or indulge in human-like deeds.
Actually saying that he does is an act of "Anthropomorphism"; anthropomorphism is not allowed in Islam.
The Quran has no mention of God laughing, but it has a verse stating that God "Derides" those who mock people who give charity:
Quote:Sura 9, The Quran:
https://quran.com/9?startingVerse=79
(79) ˹There are˺ those who slander ˹some of˺ the believers for donating liberally and mock others for giving only the little they can afford. Allah will throw their mockery back at them, and they will suffer a painful punishment.
As long as you anthropomorphize God, you'll never respect him.
