Question:
He also asks: Is it permissible to say in supplication: “O Allah, gather us in the abode of Your mercy”?

Answer:
Yes, the abode of Your mercy is Paradise. Do you not want Paradise? It is the abode of mercy. Yes, mercy is of two types: a type described for Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and a type that is created, such as rain, which is a mercy from Allah. Is that not so? Paradise is a mercy.
So observe the effects of the mercy of Allah - how He gives life to the earth after its lifelessnessفَانظُرْ إِلَىٰ آثَارِ رَحْمَتِ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ يُحْيِي الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا
[Ar-Rum 30:50]
Paradise is from the mercy of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
