Is if correct to Recite LAH TASAF or LAM TASAF?

Q: Imaan-105 : Our Imaam is a Haafidh. Qaari and Molvi as well and leads the Taraaweeh salaah. When he recited the verse TAKAW LAV ALMA TASAF he did not recite the Alif (l) and therefore read TAKAV LAV ALAH TASAF? When this was brought to his attention after the Taraaweeh salaah, he said that the Alif should not be recited. Please explain.

Answer: The Alif in the phrase TAKAW LAV ALMA TASAF. should be recited. The Molvi Sahib is therefore mistaken to say that it need not be recited. And Allaah knows best what is most correct.
