I heared that too. But you see I go to a 'dars-e-quran' where ppl sit behind others and autometically the back fo the person sitting in front is towards the quran which the person in back row has in his hand. Once a man inquired about 'back towards quran' from the 'sheikh' saab and he said s'thing like: No where does the Quran & Sunnah [hadith] says anything like this. However, this book should not be dealt with an ordinary book and the I've never seen any thing in Islam which has commented on back towards quran.

Not the final word though, you should ask some more scholars as well

I think it is more a cultural thing, and not actually anything to do with Islam.

ps. Emphasis is on "I think".
