I have been searching and searching, but I can not find the true explanation of why the Jews and the Muslims rock back and forth when reciting the Torah and the Quran. Would love to know!
 I love studying all religions/cultures. THANKS!Blessings, Penlady

What you are looking for within Judaism is Shuckling. It is not proven to have been in practice in ancient Israel. See www.reference.com for a quick read.
Also see: Ohr Somayach International Hope that helps. -a-train

Wow. Thanks a-train! I wonder why the Muslims do it, if this was started only about 800 A.D.? Islam was created about 500 A.D., so it could not have been passed on from Abraham to both sons, which then became Israel and Islam, like would be the logical explanation. So according to the information above, if I rock back and forth while learning math or memorizing, it will sink in faster? Hmmm...I am forever the cynic and the "why" asker, I guess. I really do appreciate that information, I have wanted to know for years.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Penlady

If you can tell why a bunch of religious refugees call themselves "pioneers" and wear funny, black 1840s hats--year after year--3 weeks after Independence Day (viz., July 4), then I will answer you. P.S: The July 24 date needs no explanation.

Muslim children tend to do this when learning to recite the Qur'an in their Qur'anic classes. This has nothing to do with religious practice and is more likely a result of the rhythmic verses that the children are reading which makes them rock back and forth as they learn.
Also it should be noted that this is more common in south asian countries and may not be as common amongst the children of the Arab world or Africa. Hope this helps.

I have visited a dozen schools or so in Iraq and the kids I saw never rocked.

If I start rocking back and forth, the men in the white van with the square wheels arrive to take me to the local looney bin!! LOL
