Meek and humble are adjectives which describe the group of class and in such case we use the before the adjectives.

According to the grammar we should have to use adjectives infront of nouns. Here "meek" and "humble" are nouns so that, we have to place "the" infront of meek and humble.

Yeah, adjectives are being used in form of the noun and in such a case the definite article is used before the noun.

The meek and the humble is correct because meek and humble are adjectives used for different person i.e. the meek implies a person who is meek and the humble implies the person who is humble.
