Calendar according to Quran

A month, or shahr in Arabic can be 29 or 30 days but the Quran prefers 30 according to the 1/1 relationship implied in its verses where there aren't any clauses to indicate otherwise. There are also only 12 months in a year. Per 9:36 literally from the Arabic 'The count of months is to be twelve.' 'iddata ash-shuhoori 'indallahi ithna 'ashara shahran. Now when we get here some people start having trouble. They know that an accurate year from solstice to solstice is 365 days and that 12 months consisting of 30 days is only 360 days. Although this seems like a problem this is not really a problem. Now, we need to think out of the box, because nature, and especially God doesn't always fit into a box. The problem is that people love for nature to fit into their already pre-concieved ways of thinking. If the Quran says that there are 12 months in a year and each month is 30 days then there are 12 months in a year even if there are 365 days in a year. Adding a 13 month would go against God's commands mentioned in 9:37 which forbids adding a month, and allowing any number of months that God has forbidden.
