What does to be equipped with the ethics of Allah mean?
To put it briefly, divine ethics is the ethics described in the Quran and the model of ethics which Allah is pleased with.
Allah has not created anything aimless; He has no useless activity. And man perceives that secret to the extent that he gives up useless acts which are good for nothing except consuming time.
Subtle mysteries and endless wisdoms of this world of creatures are only known by Allah. As for man, he perceives those mysteries to the extent that he tries to comprehend those wisdoms.
Allah loves all His creatures which glorify Him especially His devoted servants who carry out thas duty in the best way. On the other hand, He is not pleased with people who associate partners with Him and who shows ingratitude to Him despite His bounties. Man perceives that mystery by loving those that He loves and by not loving those that He does not love.

If man wills good deeds by means of his attribute of will, which is a Divine favor to him, if he uses his attribute of power to do good and beneficial deeds, if he learns useful knowledge by means of his attribute of knowledge; if he uses his feeling of mercy properly and deal with the servants of Allah and His other creatures mercifully, briefly if he uses that world of attributes and feelings, which is inherent in his spirit, in the direction which Allah will be pleased with, then he will be equipped with divine ethics.
All of the acts of Allah are in a straight path and when man asks Allah to be in the straight path, he is regarded to want to be equipped with the ethics of Allah
That is to say, if the man wants to be a person of wisdom, he is supposed to be a slave with whom his Lord is pleased. It is not sufficient to be a person of wisdom to observe His creatures and to search and discover their benefits for mankind without pleasing Allah. Let us think of a man who comprehends the secret mysteries in the Quran but does not apply them.
He is learned but not wise. The status of the people who do not read the book of the universe on behalf of Allah and who do not benefit from it in that aspect is no different from the othersA different definition of wisdom by Ghazali: Wisdom is to know the most exalted being by means of the most virtuous knowledge. Allah knows His personality, His attributes, His deeds, and His Actions by means of His pre-eternal and post-eternal knowledge.
According to this definition, Allah is still wise, eternally wise even if there are no creatures. Thus, people walking on the road leading to the Knowledge of Allah benefit from and receive lights and their share from that meaning of wisdom. And they reach the highest levels of the honor of being equipped with divine ethics.
That meaning carries out its decree primarily in prophets, then in great men who reached the honor of being the successors of the prophets and then in all of the believers depending on their spiritual levels. Everybody benefits from that great bounty in accordance with their belief, sincerity, knowledge and contemplation.
