This is a Persian proverb meaning that when one has doubts about something, it will lead that person to seek answers. An example of this in science is Charles Darwin having doubts that all humans simply were and had always been as God created them, which led him to theorize natural selection and evolution. An example in literature is Shakespeare's King Henry V. Henry had doubts that he was the rightful king and wasn't sure whether he had divine right. Because of this, he felt he had to prove himself with a victory against France, and he demonstrated that he did have divine right and said, "God fought for us."
However, doubt is neither a requirement nor a guarantee of knowledge acquisition. Knowledge can be gained without doubt, and having doubts does not guarantee that one will acquire knowledge. You should also consider that there are different interpretations of the term "doubt" as well as "knowledge". Doubt can imply being uncertain, or it can imply rejecting an idea before it has been explored. Knowledge can be taken to mean discovery, or it could be extended to mean every superficial detail that is perceived and processed by the brain. So you decide: what exactly is the relationship between doubt and knowledge, and to what extent is the Persian proverb, "Doubt is the key to knowledge" true?

Should faith include doubt and questioning?
Absolutely. Faith and doubt are NOT opposites. Rather, faith depends on doubt to have meaning. It is probably wise to separate between faith (volitional certainty) and lack of doubt (cognitive certainty). Absolute cognitive certainty is unrealistic since we are finite beings limited in knowledge, reason, and experience. That is why Soren Kierkegaard described faith as the leaping of a chasm ("leap of faith"). Our knowledge and reason bring us to a point. But that point is not far enough. We see where we want to be, but our knowledge and reason is inadequate to get us there. This inadequacy is our doubt (normal and healthy recognition of our limitations). Faith chooses to act volitionally (of the will) in spite of our doubts. In the case of a theist, we in faith throw ourselves on the mercy of God... not because our minds are infinite enough to exclude all other possibilities than God. Rather faith accepts our inabilities, and acts despite these. In the case of an atheist, faith is still used, since an atheist is dogged by the same human limitations. He or she simply chooses to leap over the chasm of doubt to a different endpoint. Kierkegaard's book, "Fear and Trembling" is great (if a bit heavy especially towards the end). Never let doubt die... it is a healthy part of our humanity. But never let doubt incapacitate you in your quest for the truth.
