What should people do to eliminate doubt from their hearts? Is it sufficient to ignore the doubt and rely solely on rational thinking, or is it necessary to have faith in order to be considered true Muslims?

Thank you for your question. The journey to eliminate doubt is different for different people. Instead of ignoring doubt, try holding doubt until you find answers that will satisfy those doubts such that your heart can follow. Having doubts does not take you out of the fold of Islam.

May you always be successful.
