Islam shared with Turmush that he and his wife have been living in a yurt and managing a household for 11 years, raising six children: four daughters and two sons. The contest did not award a first place, but all participants were told they did well and each received a prize. "My advice to the youth: to create an exemplary family, there must be harmony, respect, and love in the home. Then happiness will come by itself," noted Islam.

The couple shared how they met at a wedding in the village of Nur. Islam, a former musician, brought along equipment for performances. "At one of the weddings, I met Yrysqul; she is from Kara-Bulak. I was born in 1987, and she was born in 1989. We got married in 2014. My wife has a wonderful character—she is cheerful and calm. She cooks amazing katama and manti. We respect and understand each other, which has helped us reach this level. I played at weddings, but now I am engaged in livestock farming. Additionally, I participate in ulak tartysh with the team 'Borulu,' where we often win. I breed purebred horses and taigans, and I also hunt wild animals that threaten our livestock.
My wife is involved in handicrafts and takes care of our six children. In the summer, we go to the jailoo, where she makes kaymak and milks cows and mares. Our life is full of emotions and takes place among people, in the fresh air, with songs and laughter," shared Islam.
