This answer is along similar lines as that of geetha290km, but here is a non-logarithmic proof that the sum and related product converge together.
Let $b_k=1-\frac{a_k}{l}$, then the question becomes
Let $(b_n)_{n\ge1}$ be a non-increasing sequence of numbers in $[0,1)$ converging to $0$.
Show that $\sum\limits_{k=1}^\infty b_k$ converges if and only if $\prod\limits_{k=1}^\infty(1-b_k)\gt0$.
Theorem: Suppose that $0\le b_k\lt1$, then
$$
\prod_{k=1}^n\frac1{1\mp b_k}\ge\prod_{k=1}^n(1\pm b_k)\ge1\pm\sum_{k=1}^nb_k\tag1
$$
Proof: The left-hand inequality of $(1)$ follows simply from $(1-x)(1+x)=1-x^2\le1$. We will show the right-hand inequality of $(1)$ by induction.
$(1)$ is trivial for $n=1$. Assume we have $(1)$ for $n-1$:
$$
\prod_{k=1}^{n-1}(1\pm b_k)\ge1\pm\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}b_k\tag2
$$
Then
$$
\begin{align}
\prod_{k=1}^n(1\pm b_k)
&=(1\pm b_n)\prod_{k=1}^{n-1}(1\pm b_k)\tag{3a}\\
&\ge(1\pm b_n)\left(1\pm \sum_{k=1}^{n-1}b_k\right)\tag{3b}\\
&=1\pm\sum_{k=1}^nb_k+b_n\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}b_k\tag{3c}\\
&\ge1\pm\sum_{k=1}^nb_k\tag{3d}
\end{align}
$$
Explanation:
$\text{(3a):}$ pull the $k=n$ term out front
$\text{(3b):}$ apply $(2)$
$\text{(3c):}$ expand the product
$\text{(3d):}$ $b_k\ge0$
Thus, we have $(1)$ for $n$.

Convergence is dependent on what happens in the tail of the sequence of partial sums/products. Thus, if the sum converges, by removing a finite number of terms, we can assume that the partial sum is less than $\frac12$. Furthermore, if the product converges, by removing a finite number of terms, we can assume that the partial product of $1-b_k$ is between $\frac12$ and $1$ (and that the partial product of $1+b_k$ is between $1$ and $2$).
The Theorem says
$$
1-\sum_{k=1}^\infty b_k\le\prod_{k=1}^\infty(1-b_k)\tag4
$$
which says that if the sum converges, the product is bounded below, so it converges to a positive value.
Furthermore,
$$
1+\sum_{k=1}^\infty b_k\le\left(\prod_{k=1}^\infty(1-b_k)\right)^{-1}\tag5
$$
which says that if the product converges to a positive value, the sum is bounded above and so it converges.
