Gaining a deep understanding of the Orientalists’ opinions about the Quranic and Islamic knowledge and provision of a scientific analysis of their viewpoints are undeniable necessities for Muslims. Consequently, the present article aims at introducing and reviewing Burton’s study on the collection of the Quran. The present study has adopted library research method based on an analytical-critical approach, though this does not denote that the study has ignored the descriptive methods. Although examination of Burton’s viewpoints on the collection of the Quran has been the main focus of the study, the viewpoints of the Islamic scholars have been sought when required. Burton’s research report reveals his profound examination of the Quranic and Islamic sciences. The information he has presented in his research report shows that the traditions related to the collection of the Quran have moved toward development and evolution in the third century AH. Nonetheless, he has not made clear if any resources confirm his depiction of the evolution of the aforementioned traditions or not. This comes to be the most important criticism on Burton’s study of the collection of the Quran.
