However, the commission was bribed by the frightened Khan's close associates and clergy, who were enemies of Islam Khodja, to not investigate. Soon after the assassination of Islam Khodja, his son, Abdusalam Khoja, was shot dead. His assistant and right-hand man, Raim Bergen, was found buried alive. It is known that one of the wives of Isfandiyar Khan was Islam Khodja's daughter, and that Islam Khodja was the father-in-law of the Khan. Islam Khodja himself was also married. The name of his only son, Abdusalam Khoja, is known. Unlike the policy of the conservative leadership of the neighboring Emirate of Bukhara, where art, photography and film were looked down upon, Islam Khodja contributed to the development and origin of photography and cinema in Khorezm. He invited Russian and European specialists to Khiva and supported the first Khorezm and Uzbek photographer and cameraman Khudaibergen Devanov. In 2018, a historical drama movie about him premiered, titled "Islam Khodja". It was written by Jurabek Ruzmetov and directed by Jahongir Akhmedov.
