You are the poor - Wrong.
You should help the poor - Right.
You should help poor - Wrong.
See the difference between the sentences. When an adjective is used as a noun or for a group of people, 'the' is used before it.

It should be the meek and humble. Because if two adjectives referring to single person then second adjective should not be started with article.

I think the should come because we use the for the only thing e.g the poor, the earth, the gandhi, the George bush.

Humble and meek are Behaviours. So these carries the along with them.

Because when two noun used with and then they are considered to be plural. So in case we should use ARE but in this case we are using IS so this is incorrect so for correction this we must use the (article) before both noun.
