1possible duplicate of can we optionally include (or exclude) an を particle in between the noun of the する-verb and the する itself? – Flaw♦ Dec 15 '11 at 15:40

@Flaw: Thanks for pointing. That is really nice. I didn't find it when I was posting my question. – Mudassir Dec 16 '11 at 4:23

勉強{べんきょう}する is one verb. 勉強をする is a phrase.
They don't seem to have any difference in meaning, but the usage may differ.
For 勉強する, an objective can be added:
日本語{にほんご}を勉強する learn Japanese
日本語を勉強をするis wrong
For 勉強をする, adjectives (or words or phrases that can be used as adjectives) can be used before 勉強:
しばらく医者{いしゃ}になるための勉強をする study for a while to become a doctor
While 勉強する cannot be used in this way.

2@atlantiza Yes. That would be more straightforwardly contrasted with
日本語を勉強する. – user458 Dec 15 '11 at 21:16
