In the practice of national and international business contracts, the parties can choose the forum and choice of law that will be used if there is a dispute that occurs in the implementation of the contract. In the resolution of international business disputes, the choice of law chosen can use one of the material law provisions of a particular country, while the choice of forum can choose a particular institution such as the Court, arbitration or other dispute resolution institutions. In practice, the choice of forum for settlement through arbitration is widely used because it is relatively easy and fast. Arbitration institutions are generally used in the resolution of international business disputes. In this article, we will study further about the role of arbitration in the settlement of sharia economic disputes that cross national borders. This is certainly interesting to study because it is related to sharia aspects as well as national and international regulations. The analytical method used is normative juridical, with reference to the provisions of aspects of Islamic law, national law, and international law. In Islamic law, every form of agreement must be obeyed by the parties who make it as long as it does not conflict with sharia principles. In International Civil Law, there is a Choice of Law and Choice of Forum in the resolution of international business disputes. This can also be used by the parties to choose a sharia arbitration forum as a dispute resolution institution in their business which is stated in the contract clauses they have agreed to. Recognition of the implementation of foreign arbitral awards must first have an agreement between countries and the decision does not conflict with public order and the legal provisions of the country where the implementation of the arbitral award is implemented.AbstrakDalam penyelesaian sengketa ekonomi syariah lintas batas, para pihak dapat menyepakati pilihan hukum dan forum. Forum arbitrase dapat digunakan dalam kesepakatan, namun dalam praktiknya putusan tidak selalu dapat dilaksanakan karena bertentangan dengan hukum nasional. Artikel ini membahas pengaturan lembaga arbitrase ini dan penerapan prinsip hukum perdata internasional, hukum Islam, ketentuan hukum nasional maupun internasional. Dalam hukum Islam, setiap pihak harus melaksanakan perjanjiannya sepanjang tidak bertentangan dengan prinsip syariah. Dalam hukum perdata Internasional, para pihak dapat memilih hukum Islam sebagai choice of law, dan arbitrase syariah sebagai choice of forum. Untuk melaksanakan putusan arbitrase syariah, harus ada kesepakatan antar negara untuk saling mengakui putusan tersebut dan tidak boleh bertentangan dengan hukum nasional.
