You don't need a visa to transit, as long as your transit is less than 24 hours - yours is 12 hours so no issues there.
You can spend time airside in the large transit lounge. There is a hotel, plenty of shopping and places to relax, eat and even take a shower if you so please.
You won't be boarded if you are not eligible for transit, so there is no risk of being "stuck".
Relax, and enjoy your trip.

According to a Timatic search using the United Airlines interface, you can transit without a visa.
Searching for a Afghan national transiting in the Emirates yields:
United Arab Emirates - Transit Visa
Visa required.
Transiting without a visa is possible for:
Holders of confirmed onward tickets for a max. transit time of 24 hours.
Visa is required for transit between Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Dubai Al Maktoum International (DWC).
So if you have an onward ticket for a transit under 24 hours, and you don't need to change airports, you're fine.
BTW, even Israelis, who certainly can't get a visa for Dubai (without very special circumstances), can transit there without a visa, and routinely do so.
